We live in interesting times when Microsoft has to ride to the rescue and clean up Intel's mess.

Intel is having trouble figuring out which hand to eat with and which hand to wipe with.

Like, with a cloth?

They have enough Muzzis working for them to find out the answer to that question. Although probably not as many as they have Chinese agents.

Intel knew about the issue for a long time. Retooling, and worse, admitting the problem, would be very expensive.

People at their core, are not going to do the right thing. We are all fallen. The only reason they are trying to address it now is it become public.

Pentium derivatives are just 8080s at heart. The world got screwed when IBM adopted the Intel processors instead of the 68000 class machine.

I work with a guy on the front lines of that. 80 hour weeks for the last three weeks.

Horrible.
