And you had to post this through an anonymous re-mailer?

But - the post didn't seem particularly troll-ish.

How much of Intel's business is in some way tied to a Microsoft OS?

Probably 99%.

LOL... sadly true.
But Windows 8 is a gamble by Microsoft. If it does suck, it'll suck, and
people will just keep Windows 7. Microsoft will eventually had to follow
demands.
Besides, Windows 8 is more focused for embedded devices. PCs will still
live on. Intel will live on. Haven't you see "The Last Mimzy"?

I think Windows 8 will be generally successful on the tablets (both ARM
& x86), not entirely sure there is anything compelling about it on
traditional PC's though. I'm sure there will be a few upgraders to
Windows 8, or most likely most people will just get it preinstalled with
their latest PC's and they won't have any choice on the matter. Windows
8 actually looks like it may be going backwards on the PC vs. Windows 7,
as it's going to be removing the Aero interface.
However, Microsoft has made one giant move towards embracing ARM by
making its own ARM-based tablet:

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-06-18/microsofts-surface-tablets-raise-the-bar-for-pc-rivals
There's supposed to be a bigger tablet which will likely be x86
announced in a couple of months though. It may either be AMD or Intel,
no word yet.

Hardly. About 50% of Intel's profits were coming from notebook chips the last time I looked, which was a while ago. It's fairly safe to assume that most of those notebooks, which may itself be a threatened species, run Windows. That's a scary number, but it's not 99%, and there are an awful lot of server, enterprise, and technical computers running x86 from Intel using some OS other than Windows.

followed by Linux. Besides the entire server market by volume wouldn't
even amount to 1% of their overall consumer business. They're talking
hundreds of thousands of servers per year, vs. hundreds of millions of
consumer PCs.

In case Robert doesn't see it (and other google-gropers who have "show

Fools that experience usenet through google-gropes and who regularly
post large amounts of quoted material are now double-spacing the quoted
material - whether they realize it or not.
This is par for the course for Google, who has incrementally been
breaking their usenet access for the past 5 years now.
This latest change (double-spacing quoted material) seems to have
started within the past few weeks.
Thost that are brain-dead enough to experience usenet through google
probably are not seeing this.

I have a Usenet subscription that I am paying for but I am not using it.
a. I'm extremely busy and have rarely read or posted in the last year or so.
b. While I am not brain dead, I am getting older, and the plethora of passwords and the constant hassle of remembering and resetting them just isn't worth it for any service that I rarely use but that requires a password.
c. There is a newsreader/mail client problem for which, so far as I can tell, there is no currently available solution that is even remotely adapted to my diverse collection of computers and operating systems--other than Google.
If your hostility, aggression, and rudeness show up in other contexts, they are probably holding back your career. Seek help.

Another dumb thing - paying for access to text usenet groups.

Point your usenet client to this server:
nntp.aioe.org
and subscribe to any number of thousands of available newsgroups.
No authentication required. No username or password. You can read and
post as you like. You can change your posting identity at will.

dammage that google-groups does by encouraging people to make ugly posts
by defaulting to full-quoting and (now) double-spacing.

Don't forget non-existent line wrapping. What a mess the latest GG posting

You'd make a great salesman. Get a spell checker and pay attention to it.

If you have a problem with Google, write a letter to Google. Leave me alone. I've dealt with bullies in plenty of other contexts, and I can certainly deal with them here.
