GlobalMarine: Re: "Another reason why MSFT may select AMD is because MSFT is busy battling the government over the ruling that MSFT is a monopoly, so therefore why not help mitigate the monopoly image by supporting competition, and AMD is the only reason why processors are fast & cheap. It would look bad to support a fellow monopolist like Intel." Comment: Agreed from a political perspective...but the main reason AMD will be selected is because the Athlon offers the superior microprocessor architecture in the marketplace today. MFST will not risk enlisting a 2nd best in such a mammoth undertaking! The financial risk is too great...even for MSFT!
