RE:<I spent triple the money on the OS compared to the CPU for my last system. > My first investment in AMD coincide with PIII PSN implementation. Prior to that I bought 11 PC, all Intel CPU and I almost didn’t know anything from AMD. My view of AMD becoming a respectable second source was more of a hope than a vision. The game is not over but AMD is well positioned to compete with Intel now. And I never made so much money investing in a company than with AMD, but it was not my first motivation. Prior to that, the UGLY MS was my target. The GOOD AMD was better positioned to fight the BAD Intel. LINUX as a winner give me a problem. How do they finance it's development. How can they bypass proprietary right against MS without imposing tremendous adaptation from the user. It's like MS own the exclusive right on the encoding of all the people’s saved data. It also own right on our way of doing thing. MS have slowly killed all possible innovation by keeping proprietary the way we usually do thing. Gottfried (felling to old to fight the UGLY one)
