Only snag is AMD are dependant on Bill to pull his finger out and release Win XP64. What are all his army of Indian programmers doing anyway ?

From what I see MS's ressources are not the bottleneck at all, wherever they are.

It is the drivers... I went after that recently when thinking about going for a Win-64 beta (after staying away some 15 years from betas - to give you an idea about my attitude irt AMD64)

Not that I would like it, but i am not holding my breath for a Release-version of WinAMD64 this year from what i see out there currently. And I dont even think of using the beta currently.

I mean it is not like there would be driver issues - they are just absent for 90% (my wag) of hardware out there.

I dont know what MS or AMD could do to force Driver-Releases...
Pay for it? Naah. Blacklist?? Or a Whitelist? Naah, implossible, that would make the situation obvious to everybody.

Suggestions?
