I don't think it's bad news at all. If more people switch to Linux or it's many derivatives, then it's great news for them. If Intel and AMD want to connect their future and fortunes to a sinking ship ( Microsoft ) then it opens the door to perhaps another manufacturer of chips without misguided allegiances. I'm sure other companies with a production base are watching developments closely. Microsoft is just pushing a bad position and making things worse for themselves. That's the way of business.
A number of our Subsim members have constructed their own computers, you included Rockin Robbins, based on yours and their respective needs and specifications. If Microsoft continues to alienate their customers and clientele, I'm sure this trend will continue and grow.
