To run Task Manager means they booted Windows.

Not correct. It means that Task Manager was running and that is all. The system could have been jury rigged so that it would run Task Manager and generate the inference that it could boot and run Windows.

Deception has always been AMD's game and you have to carefully parse what AMD actually presents. For example, AMD once touted an increase in "desktop market share". A close reading of the claim showed that the metric was an increase in retail desktop share.

The retail limitation was real cute because it excluded online and business desktop sales. A check of total desktop sales by the sours sited by AMD showed that AMD had not gained market share.
