>                  INTEL QUIETLY FIXES BUG IN MICROPROCESSOR

   Yeah, this whole thing has caused quite a stir. It's what the reporter left
out that is the problem - I clearly pointed out that there was a hardware
work-around for the bug that ASUSTek didn't have on their motherboard and
of course it's not fair to compare a performance problem with a legitimate
wrong-answer FDIV bug.
   Intel was not pleased (to say the least), but I think we all have a clear
idea of what happend now - that I actually defended Intel's position and
the reporter was highly selective in which comments of mine he used. Sigh.
