Doug -

I am flattered that you hold my opinion in such high estime.

With all this 64 bit talk and hanging on Microsofts every word, it appears a lot of people expect Intel and Microsoft to drop a bomb on AMD64 in the next few months if not sooner.

<Doug: Do you think Yamhill is underway?>

Do you honestly believe that MS is generating an AMD64 OS that has nothing to do with Intel?

<Do you think it is AMD64 compatible? A superset of AMD64?>

Intel? Compatible? Are you joking?
A superset? At least.
Totally different? Why not?

<Do you think it is IA-64 compatible?>
I don't even understand this question. Why would it be? That wouldn't compete with AMD at all in this market. IA-64 is a totally different market.

<Do you think it will be active in Prescott? Tejas?>
Yes.

<What will its impact on Itanium be?>
Nothing. Separate market. Your question should have been, "What will be its impact on AMD"?
