No benefit? You identify it in your penultimate paragraph. AMD's fabs could be used for SPARCs. JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)

Yes, Microsoft may be pissed, but as each day goes by it is facing a bigger threat from Linux, and I wouldn't assume it would drop its Hammer support. AMD's Hammer chip is going to be success with low end server and workstation station markets. Microsoft needs new sources of revenues and I don't think it would want Linux to become even more popular when the flood of Hammer chips starts hitting the market next year.
