By the way PTEC has come out with the(EFI) firmware to support the duo core processor. This tech he speaks of is coming from PTEC. They also have a pattent on this. The notion that windows vista is coming out with the replacement tech to change this is not right. They can't due to the pattents involved here.

This is sheer speculation on rise and fall of a system that has been in place for years. This company is strong and will survive. It has plenty of time to diversify and will not be holding the bag. Don't let the doom sayers change your opinion on a strong company. Yeah vista is different, but the judgement on how effective vista is has not been carved in stone.
