Lewinsky-Dan - Re: "A typical business PC is running more and more background applications too. Virus checker, email agent, appointment agent, etc. The result is that the primary application gets a smaller and smaller share of the CPU's time in which to chew through those layers of interpreted legacy code." And they do it on Intel-based processors- available today at speeds up to 1 GHz. If 1 GHZ isn't fast enough, then most of AMD's installed AthWipers are pretty worthless - right? And business purchasing managers can get 1.4 and 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 PCs from well established providers to businesses - IBM and Dell - in about a month. They have no reason to rush into novelty ThuumpTurds - that's for sure. Paul
