It looks like AMD managed to piss off someone who seem to have a habit of creating hate websites. His anger stems from the fact that AMD sold him a Radeon X1950Pro which was advertised as Vista Certified but turns out not to be the case.

This is, of course, only one side of the story and I'm sure returning a product requires less effort than paying for a URL and creating an entire website. I'm simply posting this because I know some of you like to fan the flame. Enjoy.

AMD ATI sucks according to one angry man

I love the "legal disclaimers" that these people put on their sites. That's like selling drugs from your home and putting a sign on the front door saying "ATTENTION POLICE: By entering my home you cannot arrest me because I have this sign here!"
A word of advice: if you happen to be committing libel against a person or company, a cheesy disclaimer on your home page will NOT clear you of liability.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and
ATI Technologies Sucks
LOL!
We should put him in a ring with Sharikou and let them duke it out. ;)
Speaking of Sharikookoo, it's funny how he was posting new articles almost daily last month when Phenom released, but only 3 articles so far here in December, and nothing in the last couple of weeks. Either he is giving up on AMD or his prozac prescription expired...
My guess is that all the bad news about Phenom and AMD has caused major depression and now he's scouting around for more drugs. Well at least I won't miss his moronic "Intel BK set for Q208" or more recently "Q109". His credibility sunk into the single digits to match his IQ with that "prediction".
LOL! Loons everywhere.
I think the problem that many are facing is that after months of posts that were looking forward to the release of AMD's Barcelona processors, the rollout has been very disappointing. And it's hard to continue to make posts about how things will improve after the most recent events. If AMD can get things rolling again (Phenom @ 2.6GHz and faster, soon) then there will be more optimism and reason to speculate with some hope.
I think that AMD burned a lot of its loyal supporters this last couple of months. Not being able to catch up or keep up with Intel, under the circumstances, is not such a bad thing as long as they were being honest about where they stood. But the many broken promises and mess they made leaves many people with a sour taste in their mouths.
Still, if they recover and get back on track, I think they'll quickly get back any support they've lost.
amd and ati officially suck anyway...phenom 'native quad core' oh please...

"Perhaps AMD should stop spending time and energy trying to sue others and blaming others for their failures."
I tend to agree with the current set of problems. AMD and/or governments has the right to pursue this for potential past transgressions, but clearly the 'monopoly' is not the cause of the AMD's current problems. I think AMD's mgmt conveniently intermixes these hoping folks may not realize this distinction.
My question is this though... is the EU looking for recent stuff (within the last 2 years say) or older stuff? And what exactly is the SPECIFIC damage done to the EU? I can see AMD trying to make a claim (if anything is proved) but what about the EU? If rebates or whatever is deemed anticompetitive then I can see how this impacted AMD, but if the prices that consumers were paying were still low and competitive (like they are now), how exactly is the EU consumer injured? These are not European companies. Does the EU fine companies who sell clothes in the EU that are done by labor at ridiculously low salaries?
This, to me, in disingenuous. If the argument is that consumers got hurt then I eagerly wait to see if the EU distributes checks to all those who purchased a computer in that time period they allege (should they actually levy a fine). Somehow though, I don't think we will see that (call me a cynic).
We all know that Intel fans are the biggest cock suckers of them all and just as long as we get what we want everyone else can go fuck themselves.
The truth is that this board really sucks. The main people who come here are Intel employees who just want a chance to stroke themselves anonymously.
If the issue is that AMD was injured, than AMD (NOT THE EU) should be the ones pursuing this as they are doing in the US.
