Lots of marketing spin, but also some key technology announcements.
Of course, there's not one mention of Windows and they are using XP on their demo machines. Using the Windows XP scheduler from 2001 on an 8-core hyperthreaded machine? WTF?
Whoever still calls it a 'Wintel' machine can bite me. The marriage of Intel and Microsoft is not a cozy, loving one. They are having affairs with Linux and Mac, and barely speak to us anymore except when they want sex or to make sure we're still 'just friends' with AMD.
