My point was more broad that that. Most people dont do linux/unix. Some dont even know how to work with the dos command line . Most just want a working windows. I dont use linux for a simple reason. I can do everything i want in w2k. Just that. The hassle of moving or even working with both OS just doesnt pay. So, I wouldnt buy it. Doesnt mean someone else wont, but thats not the point.

After said that, and saying again, that the average Joe doesnt really care about "complicated stuff", and the really high end dual and small server markets still ruled by a large margin by Intel, the target market for the Hammer is extremely small without proper windows and application support . If in fact they had the hammer ready, it wouldnt be profitable to get it out yet.
