Constantine, Re: "stop congratulating each other. What's Intel's % of the c/c++ compiler market share like? <1%?" Stop congratulating? That's got to be one of the most bitter remarks I've ever heard from you. My only comment in the last post was to mention your very sentiment, which is that Intel should get their compiler optimizations mainstream (since right now, they are not). Apparently, you responded hastily without understanding what I had written. Speaking of bringing these optimizations mainstream, though, I do believe that subsequent versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler will begin incorporating more of the code base from Intel's compilers. The question will be what level of optimizations actually make it into the next release, since the Pentium 4 didn't seem to benefit much from the prior releases that was said to have optimizations. I just hope you can handle it when the time comes that mainstream compilers include heavy Pentium 4 optimizations, because it's only a matter of time before they do. Hopefully, you don't get too much of a sore throat from calling foul. wbmw

C - Re:"What's Intel's % of the c/c++ compiler market share like? <1% ?" You totally miss the point. Intel is not developing compiler technology to gain market share in the compiler business. The goal is to improve the performance of its processors. Intel is quite happy to lead the way in compiler technology and get others to use the optimization techniques. Intel benefits when widely available compilers implement previously unused technology in the P4. The AthWiper does have this unique technology. Too bad for the AthWiper, it just falls further behind on the task of running todays software.
