Wow, if Microsoft thinks the quality of Intel's software sucks, it must REALLY suck! Microsoft wouldn't know good code if it fell on them. When Gates & Co. deride a new technology as 'inferior' or 'low-quality,' you can be sure they feel threatened. That's what happened in this case - a player with deep pockets was tinkering with going head-to-head with MSFT and Gates did all he could to keep that from happening. In this case, it worked. BTW Intel does compete with Microsoft in some software applications, and we kill 'em. My colleague on this thread is correct - there is no love between INTC and MSFT. Intel is just the largest manufacturer of the hardware that Microsoft, the largest manufacturer of software, happens to run on. 'Wintel' is nothing but a cute name someone came up with, not some virtual global corporation. Regards, Badger
