Tim, Re: "But seeing Jerry admit that his ignorant testimony--"Bill tells me it's crazy"--is in exchange for a favor from Bill is just too precious for words." I know - I now have it bookmarked. It's a real gem! BTW, did you see the point that Tenchusatsu brought up on the Free Speech Thread? wbmw

I meant Microsoft, not AMD: "Needless to say, I oppose the plan to break-up or otherwise punish AMD. If people don't like Windows, they have plenty of choices. But seeing Jerry admit that his ignorant testimony--"Bill tells me it's crazy"--is in exchange for a favor from Bill is just too precious for words." I obviously meant "I oppose the plan to break-up or or otherwise punish Microsoft." Not even a Freudian slip, as no one is talking about breaking up AMD...it's doing that job itself. --Tim May

"Sanders also says that in exchange for testifying he wants Microsoft to drop support of an Intel chip (presumably the IA-64)." More likely the Yamhill instructions.

Re: Sanders also says that in exchange for testifying he wants Microsoft to drop support of an Intel chip (presumably the IA-64). LOL!! Nice try. What was being asked for was announcement for support of X86-64 ahead of an announcement for support of a competing chip from Intel - which has to be Yamhill, since support for Itanic is already shipping (and already announced). The current fight between Intel/AMD/Microsoft is about the timing of support for Hammer vs. Yamhill. This is confirmation that Yamhill is for real and that Itanium is dead. RIP, Itanic.
