I've seen the specs for that baby and let me tell you it is gonna tear up the marketplace.

They've upped the bus-side RAM capacity and totally reworked the cache input engine. Then they reduced the logic overflow register but managed to hold the memory-mapped video ports at a constant value.

It is a work of genius. Much kudos to Intel on this one.

Bah! Windows is for luserz and people two stupid to actually use their computer. Linux runs better, is more powerful, cheaper, looks nicer. Windows is just a lame OS trying to follow the path of Linux, for stability, and Mac OS, for the UI. Don't believe me? Take a look at the nice curved boxes in XP. Huh, looks just like Mac OS X.

Why anyone would trust Microsoft after all the shit they produce, including the code that lead to Melissa, Code Red and Nimda, to name a few, is beyond me. Is Microsoft watching you? Is someone else? Did you forget about the NSA key inside Windows? You did, huh?

In conclusion, Windows, just like your mama, sucks longer and harder than any Hoover vac ever could.
