Blackcomb, according to behaviour of its predecessors, was orginally named Blackbomb, but was renamed for the same reason as Shorthorny to Longhorn - after MS had to admit the marketing starts *before* any work is done on the product.
Now really, any clue how they'll get named in final release?
Once Virtual Reality is here, we will either have to think about any bad symptoms in the terms of natural development of mankind, or make it regulated by law (impossible, imho, because WE will do, what WE want).
What is a kernel? Who is using at least one of their 30 different kernels? Who gives a damn that Windows runs 10% faster if it can't be considered an operating system - in the terms of server use? Today we need stability, portability, open source and low TOC. But those guys apparently don't get it. I can either buy a proprietary Intel compiler which doesn't even compile Linux kernel and forget about others (like BSD), or wait some 3 months and get those "improvements" in hardware in the form of higher clock frequency, but for real.
Also the article is trying to say, that the code optimized up to 40% over GCC using Intel's proprietary instructions gains the same improvements on AMD.
Yeah and I'm going to die to get my ass on dot NET.
they probably mean that Linux kernel which can't be compiled, because their compiler for Linux can do only Linux applications.
Have a look at http://developer.intel.com/software/products/eval/ Poor marketing crap, again.

And what if you were? Would you take that mentally impaired child seriously?

"64 kB will be enough for everybody!"
"What is that Internet, indeed?"
