Elmer - Re: "Funny, I didn't see anything about K7s" AMD is building K7's secretly and putting them in inventory. Then in mid 1999, AMD will launch a massive K7 campaign with millions and millions of K7's readily available for customers. Paul

Elmer, <Funny, I didn't see anything about K7s> This is typical for you to make a fool of yourself. Try to memorize (if you can't comprehend on your own): "K7 IS an Intel-architecture processor for Windows platform". Got it?

Elmer, Re: "The trend is absolutely that Intel architecture/Windows NT will be the dominant player over time" I wonder where Scumbria is with his NT is only good for email, Office 98 and file server applications, stuff like that? Actually the author does say it's still Unix for the more heavy duty stuff. Unix workstations still have a heavy presence in the workstation market, particularly in the higher-end models, where Intel/NT workstations can't keep up, ffoulkes said. In data-intensive tasks such as simulating airplanes or designing microchips, customers will spend the extra money for a Unix system, ffoulkes said. "High-end Unix systems can do things that Intel architecture/Windows NT can't do yet, or certainly not in the same degree, he said." Unix will be around and make money for Sun Micro and a few others for a long time. Tony
