Any interesting read. It talksabout Xbox and how M$ wants license to chip makers now.

Now that's going to be a stable CPU 😉

Lets see here, if microsoft make a cpu:
1. The worst😀 is macs
2. Then comes microsoft computers---Windows only OS.
3. Then the best: linux based computers. I wonder how many more people would convert to linux?

Good point. That might actually push linux to the forefront as an alternative OS. 🙂 That would be very good.

gonna be interesting how this plays out, especially if microsoft can pull this off.

Heh, if MS were to start making their own cpus, I think Intel would revolt and it would be bad news for MS.

Unlikely they'd want to do that, IMHO.

Eh, MS would probably just buy Intel.😉🙂

Don't expect this to go anywhere. If Microsoft were to do something like that AMD and Intel would instantly sue, and Microsoft would push themselves further into monopoly territory. Something that major would get them broken up very quickly.

So no chance this is an April Fools joke? That's what I thought at first.

This is mainly for the XBOX 2.
