And the Vista marketing B.S. starts early...

Post by FlyingPenguin »

According to this Athlon32 processors aren't "Vista Ready" (whatever the heck that means).

Oh yeah, you can hear the sound of hardware vendors saying "CA-CHING!"

Of course if Vista keeps getting delayed then by the time it's released Athlon32's will have gone the way of the Dodo and the 80486...

Great I can keep running Linux on my Athlons and have even less reason to even think about Windows.
