bababouie, you think Sept. 30 is too late for the holiday sales? Maybe you misread something I wrote. The processor will be in systems Sept. 30 and will run 32-bit Windows or 64-bit Linux at that time. We don't have an exact date for 64-bit Windows, but Microsoft is saying before the end of the year. There will be plenty of systems available for the holidays, and there is good reason to believe there will be 64-bit Windows at the same time.

(If Windows is delayed, then most likely the systems will ship with 32-bit Windows and a coupon for a free upgrade. They will ship.)
