AMD did follow intel and changed the way decoding was done in the revised spec and (surprise surprise ) intel changes their avx specification again...Mr Fog just wants the mess with instruction set extensions to be over and a standardization body to be formed.
Well Mr.Fog is just going to have to accept that Intel has the right to improve their product line and that they are not under an obligation to give a helping hand to their rival.

You should accept that too.

As for MS,Hans posted that he hopes AMD is just a first to post a MS "inspired" AVX/SSE5 common instr. set extension.
I hope he is right, I just doubt that he is.
