steve - <I think you're wrong.> Nice reasoned response. Thank you. Look, I don't know if the X-box thing is even going to get off the ground, but it would be silly to turn away the business. It is virtually no risk to the CPU supplier. Also, something I hadn't thought of until I saw the MSFT press release, is the promotion of the SIMD platform. IT would have been a big boost to 3DNow to have MSFT to support that on it's game platform. As it is, it's an incremnental boost to the Intel SIMD instructions, which is what the game is, i.e., get as many developers writing on platform as possible. <Btw, are you posting from Intel facilities today?> Probably not, but I could be, or maybe I am not, but I suppose I could be, but I'm just as likely to not be...
