[ale] [Fwd: [Am-info] Advanced Micro Devices will include Microsoft's Palladium]

[John Wells]

Ok....I rarely swear aloud, but my co-workers were just treated to a
thirty second train of expletives.

The f'ing pisses me off.  I had hopes that AMD would not join the
Microsoft party....guess I was wrong.

Now I just have to figure out how to do something about this.  There
ultimately has to be a solution, or else I'm packing up my computers on
the front lawn, burning them, moving to a farm in Montana and joining the
local militia.

All joking aside, I'm very, very concerned about this.
