No its not, its some marketting drivel in a press release targetted at investors who might be interested in their upcoming IPO.
"Microsoft announced today that windows will maximize your internet experience with over 32 bits of color, representing a milestone in OS design!"
"Intel announced today that the new Prescott processors will give you the power to make the most of the internet, representing a milestone in processor design!"
"Slashdot announced today that they will post anyones press release as news for a mere nickel, representing a milestone in for-hire shill technology!"
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
