We saw how useful was the uneccessary layer of Vista ... design to sell GPUs without real user benetif (My personal opinion )
You can always go back in the product stack and find something that does not work on the new OS ... Like well, Intel sucks because the Pentium 1 does not run vista. Duh!
You got to be smarter than this and understand both side of the argument, otherwise, you just get manipulated by Marketing.
Let's elevate the debate, stop fanboynism.
Nice spin, Dr. I thought you claimed that's where 95% of hardware is sold? The fact of the matter is, your IGP's sold in that space were not close to competitive, and incapable of providing expected performance guaranteed by the Home Premium logo. And therefore used your market dominance to lower the bar so you wouldn't have to. And now you are playing on the bad press of Vista and using that as reasoning for not providing a competent solution. Typical.
I won't even get into your statement about promising 10X processing power in a very short time. lol
