Milo, interesting AMD banner ad @ Anandtech I was reading the IDF article - the one on Intel and was amused to see an AMD banner ad at the bottom of the screen. It was even more interesting to see it was advertising an XP2100+ for $299.99 here: pcclub.com EDIT: The 2100+ was not available in the store above.

This means that Windows users have an incentive to switch to Linux until Microsoft corrects the situation. That is exactly why he made that statement. Petz
