wbmw, You are an opinionated fellow. 6555 posts in 399 days, or 16.43 posts per day, full of opinions, many of them before all the data is in. I can't believe you have not formed an opinion in 19 days, since some of the Sysmark info was posted. Let's just review some highlights: - Bapco used 13 Photoshop filters, each filter applied once. Of the 13 filters 8 Athlon. All 8 filters of the Athlon favoring filters were removed. The 3 of the Intel favoring filters were run 12 times (instead of once) in Sysmark 2002. What do you think is going on? Is it your opinion that the users stopped using 8 of the Athlon favoring filters, and started to use the Intel favoring filters 4 times rather than once? The weight of the new cleansed Photoshop test increased from 13% to 31%. Do you have an opinion on the sudden surge in use of Photoshop? - Top 14 tasks of Athlon processor were removed. Even after these tasks were removed, Access still favored Athlon. Access contribution to the rating dropped from 26% to 6%. Do you have an opinion about the seeming dropoff in usage of Access, and the "new way" Access is supposedly used? - Excel test used to contribute 1% but was changed to 15%. You must have an opinion on 15x surge in usage of Excel. And in the "new and improved" Excel test, spreadsheet like activities amount to only 10% of the Excel test, and an Intel favoring Sort (a database-like function) amounts to 90% of the test. You must have an opinion on this huge surge in the usage of Excel, and the significant change in usage of Excel. Is it in your opinion reasonable explanation that the MSFT Office users almost overnight radically changed their usage of the common office tools, and started using their spreadsheet tool for database tasks, and significantly cut their database usage?
