So, even though Hector Ruiz didn't get a raise this year, it turns out that he's the best paid semiconductor boss. Way to go AMD Board Of Directors, rewarding someone for driving the company into the dirt. No wonder AMD is so screwed up, it doesn't seem to know what the hell is the right thing to do from the top down.
ZERO is number of ULTIMATE Desktop Systems' OEM. Due to ZERO Mainboards that are Flawless.

Microsoft asks developers to stop Ultimate developement in netframes 3. Probably too complex for newly emerging dual controller setup needed for NT6.

ULTIMATE WORKS Good, BETTER Than XP in all ways, Scores are even SAME, So why not ULTIMATE? ULTIMATE May be too simple compared to SEVEN to throw much at, especially in replacement, yet it is MUCH BETTER than XP. ULTIMATE Goes to ULTIE_TOM, for that Low, Low Number in '7.
