Intel is now blowing smoke with their own OS which is a parasite feeding off
Linux rather than building their own OS and taking all the hard work and the
hits along the way. An Intel "architect" is shooting his mouth off in a
LinkedIn group claiming this is the end of "WinTel."

Would Microsoft cozy up to AMD in a big way?

Your opinions?

I thought Intel was on the ECMA and ISO Standards Committees for .NET?

Yea, its been monkey see monkey do for vendors joining these sorts of groups
but the implications of what may occur in the near future do not bode well
as they are likely to favor their *nix OS and drag support for .NET behind.
Who knows now? All I do know is the flamebait that came from the guy I was
referring to and the implications regarding our future. Maybe in a wild and
crazy parallel universe Microsoft already owns AMD ;-)

It seems it's just another *nix OS user on his soapbox, a dime a dozen,
preaching the doom of MS. He'll be dust in his grave when and if MS falls.

What else is new?

Maybe the end of the desire to be associated with Windows in such a fashion,
but all the while there are enough Windows machines in existence then they
will not withdraw or curtail support for it.

No need.

Facts above! ;-)
