Joe, Re: I have made the prediction that it will align with the launch of Windows 64.
>> Why is that? There is obviously no precedent since Itanium that launch 2 years before Windows version. 386 launched more than half a decade before there was an OS for it.
Intel made the comment that they would not launch 64-bit compatible parts until the software infrastructure supported it. That sounds like a good alignment with the Microsoft OS, but that's just one opinion.
Re: Last time we were talking predictions on Yamhill, some 1 or 2 years ago, you refused to acknoledge it, and then you left crying and complaining.
You're right. I didn't believe it then, but even I am wrong on occasion. C'est la via, n'est pas?
