Re: Because, you see, I still don't buy that you can boot the OS yet not have any applications run. Some, sure. But none? That is the pretty extraordinary claim that you have been making.

Speaking of strawmen and putting words into people's mouths, where did I ever claim this?

I'm actually sorry that my simple reasoning and logic process was too complex for you to understand, for you see: my point about ANY application being a better demonstration for AMD than Task Manager WAS NOT the same as claiming that NO applications would run besides Task Manager.

I have spelled this out quite clearly in the past: #msg-15051788
And more recently: #msg-16367145, #msg-16341991, #msg-16337440

So you see, I can search back at old posts, and point out clearly what I intended in great detail. Why are you too lazy to do the same, and instead make baseless accusations that you can't back up?

And by the way, I'm still waiting for you to admit that this was a silly claim:

"To boot Windows means everything, with the possible exceptions of floating point and virtualization, is working."

You are trying your hardest to dance around this one, and each time it just makes you a bigger target for ridicule.

This would leave only one explanation for no visible apps running at AMD's demo. Utter incompetence by their Marketing. Couple that with only a few seconds seen running and no one allowed to approach the system and you have a scenario harder to believe than what seems to be the simplest and most obvious explanation. Nothing could run for more than a few seconds or they would have showed it. Proof? Of course not but the best guess.
