Probably Opteron APUs. If it actually works it could be great for them. I'm just not certain it will work.

Nodes in a SeaMicro fabric? If it works well, maybe it would open a market for AMD professional compute cards - interesting play. Guess AMD is trying everything they've got.

I never understood why we don't have an OpenJDK for Windows like we have for Linux. The Linux version is great... it doesn't come bundled with Ask.com spyware, and it doesn't have all of these obnoxious auto update prompts or "Are you SURE you wanna run this applet??" security dialog boxes.

The update prompts are killer, mostly interrupts (and crashes) games from fullscreen and once when I was giving a PowerPoint Presentation. I personally just manually update because the autoupdate needs to be overhauled.
