Microsoft Advice Against Nehalem Xeons Snuffed Out 154

Posted by Soulskill from the keep-that-under-your-hat dept.
Eukariote writes "In an article outlining hidden strife in the processor world, Andreas Stiller has reported the scoop that Microsoft advised against the use of Intel Nehalem Xeon (Core i7/i5) processors under Windows Server 2008 R2, but was pressured by Intel to refrain from publishing this advisory. The issue concerns a bug causing spurious interrupts that locks up the Hypervisor of Server 2008. Though there is a hotfix, it is unattractive as it disables power savings and turbo boost states. (The original German-language version of the article is also available.)"

Bunch of crybabies. ...I'd be upset too, if I didn't know that apple released new products yearly with their masterplan of planned obsolescence.

Of course, if the "masterplan" was thwarted and Apple didn't release new products every year it would be, "What's up with Apple! The iXxxxxxx hasn't been updated in OVER A YEAR! C'Mon! Competitor nnnnn just brought out the Nnnnnn iXxxxxx-killer and Apple didn't answer! The iXxxxx is getting very old in the tooth."

Here's the newsflash: NOBODY needs this week's model lest they starve,

As for loyalty, I've been a loyal gas, water and electricity user my whole life but the utilities still don't seem to want to give me a break. I'm going to call and write nasty emails and letters and let them know I will NOT STAND FOR IT!

It really doesn't matter when they do it -- February, June, two years ago, two years from now. Either way, they'll still have 2 million clueless idiots cussing out at their TVs wondering what happened to their TV signal. And all of those 2 million will be technologically clueless senior citizens -- anyone under the age of, say, 40, already gets most of their TV from the internet, where it's on demand and there's far fewer commercials.

There will be 4 million who have portable TVs that are in no way likely to work well with digital converter boxes. I keep thinking about people working in kiosks, stores, trucks, RVs, and newsstands...and yeah, a lot of poor and elderly people with 13" TVs.

Some anon is asking, so here it is:

I own a 1968 Piper Cherokee 235. It has a useful load of 1400 pounds, which means I really can take 3 passengers, and cruises at 133 knots, which translates to roughly 150 MPH.

It carries 83 gallons useful fuel which gives a range of over 5 hours and 700 NM, although my bladder can't endure that long.
