AMD makes a nice processor for netbooks (E-350?). It is outclassed everywhere else. Bulldozer better at least match Nehelem.

AMD makes plenty of CPUs that do great with Windows 7. I wouldn't call that out classed. The top 45 scoring CPUs are Intel but who cares except real enthusiasts. For Windows 7 a score of 2000 and above is enough for the vast majority of computer users and buyers. Plus I like the on board Radeon video on AMD boards

AMD is awful on laptop chips. Their chip naming system is awful. I can't figure out what I am getting when I buy an AMD powered laptop
