You may in the future.... and while I'm sure hacks will come out for players (mod chips?) and TVs... who would really want to start voiding warranty on a $1500+ television....

Until someone senior at IBM notices and has it pulled down. Interesting to see some of the people at IBM as real people though with a real interest in what they do.

I just don't see that offering a discount for purchasing products exclusively from one company as being wrong. Dell or HP HAVE the choice to go AMD. Dell has more pull then AMD seems to imply in their lawsuit..

AMD is saying Intel is not competing fairly, competition gives the consumer choice, and I'm going to choose with my dollars to support the company that isn't trying litigate its marketshare higher.

Agreed, it's about choice and I've always had it, I'm tired of companies suing each other over little things with little to no proof. Intel is big, but they aren't Microsoft and there are competitors. AMD has done a good job but if they're going to take the legal route franky I'm not interested in any of their products as the Intel versions will work fine for me.
I'm cancelling my new shipment of new AMD machines as soon as I get to the office this morning.

>> Why should I have to fiddle about to get video playback working?
Just like those people who call tech support and complain about having to make changes on their system to get something to work...
[customer] Why should I have to fiddle about to get it working?
[techsupport] Well you don't have to if you don't want it to work.

Which movie was that covered in? In all honesty I don't recall it being mentioned... but my mind is in a far off place, sorry.

Yes the end result is the same.
If I'm selling a product should I not give a discount to someone who stocks my product exclusively? Or a bonus for continuing to do so?
