Scott As for Kanada.. I wasnt sure whether you were trying to spell "Canada" the country or "Kanata" , which is a suberb of Ottawa (which I dont live in) ;) Kanada is how I think we should spell it after annexation has been completed. <g> I think the mood of the hardware sites generally is that its a great move for both companies since they wont be comitting intercecine warfare against each other and will instead co-operate against the common enemy - Intel. Plus.. some on the hardware sites seem to really like Transmeta's technology.. and some think it could be a benefit to AMD to have access to it - a la the Motorola co-operation. I don't know enough nor do I understand what I do know of Transmeta's tech to know if a union between the two (AMD and Transmeta) will be worth it....so I must rely on yours and others views. But I find it hard to believe that Transmeta will keep Intel out in the cold. I think that Intel is too important to the chip industry and Transmeta too small to ignore or snub them. As for the Sun thing.. I guess that made you happy when Sun announced they were going to port Solaris to x86-64 :) Yes, it did. But subsequently people were saying it was lip service on Sun's part.....so apparently it doesn't mean that much. ted
