wbmw,"The majority of validation these days is done at the pre-silicon level, which is where you get your 90%. ... Another cardinal rule, or "thing that they say", is that if you don't validate it, it doesn't work. " I think some hearing correction is in order, about "what they say". If you happen to be ever around a real silicon development, you would know first thing that the "pre-silicon" "validation" is called "verification", in "their" professional circles. Therefore all your "theories" about amount of efforts to boot into Windows are proven to be a deep FUD, on grounds of continuous misuse of professional terminology. Sorry, if you are outside the circle, the real tech lingo is not easy to grasp. - Ali
