wbmw: Microsoft is going to get help from AMD in their compiler, but they don't want help from Intel. Wishful thinking your @ss? Bah, it's exactly wishful thinking, bud.
You keep spouting BS and twisting words.
I made perfectly clear that I did not *know* what level of cooporation Microsoft and Intel have on MS' compiler. Since Intel has a competing product, there could be other factors than with AMD. This I simply commented on.
And it isn't that AMD "helps Microsoft". That's more word-twisting from you. Microsoft could probably care less. AMD, however, has a huge interest in getting some optimizations for their product in. And so they have a team that works with MS to achieve that.
