CB, Re: "I don't see any conflict here"

You're right.

"Thinking Microsoft windows xp? think about athlon xp"

It's just a coincident. Viewers of this ad should already realize that Windows XP = Experience and Athlon XP = Extra Performance.

CB, <There's no way AMD would have adopted XP for Palomino without Microsoft's blessing.>

Says who? They already adopted the "Athlon 4" moniker without Intel's blessing. Let's not forget about K6-III, an obvious reference to Pentium III back in early 1999.

But I'm sure all three instances are just coincidence. After all I was born yesterday ...
