Maybe yes, maybe no. The big loser in this would be Intel. I'm not sure of the % of Dell computers that ship with AMD CPU's but it's certainly less than 25%. Dell is big enough to hurt Intel if they switch to AMD.
More likely good news for Intel. Fair chance all of Dell's competitors will switch from AMD to Intel where possible, just so Dell won't profit from their business. And you have to wonder if Dell's customers will just happily go along with AMD instead of Intel. If this happens, it could cost both Dell and AMD customers.
A better idea could be to get one X chromosome from someone else, like your mom!
Where do you think you got your X chromosome from?

I was a little peeved by the Keep-Alive: yes
If all you're doing is a redirect, it's like... why would you leave the connection open? "Dude, go here... and um... stick around for a bit, I just want to make sure you don't have anything else to ask about..."
In that case, don't ever look how http://bit.ly/ redirects.
darn, messed up the formatting.
Looks like Slashdot is as insecure as SourceForge, you've messed up the whole website!
But to rate software robustness based on a small amount of anecdotal evidence is irresponsible.
Normally I'd agree with that. However, we're talking about opening a largely undocumented file format. MS office should be the gold standard in opening their own files. You save it in word, it should open in word - end of story. For any application to fail that test indicates a lack of something. The fact that people are often able to open their "corrupt" files using another tool indicates that part of the something missing is robustness.
Yes, it should open in MS-Word if you saved it in word, every time, you are right. But you cannot conclude Abiword (or OO/LO) is more robust if you have one (or a few) examples where it was able to open a file and MS-Word wasn't. You only tried Abiword when MS failed, you didn't try Abiword everytime MS succeeded, and you might have found some Abiword failures then.

I'll probably be modded troll for this, but I think about 0.5% of all office software users in the world care about this 'freedom' version of open source. The cost aspect is much more interesting. Personally I would gladly give up my right to ever change or even see the Open Office source code for one free beer.

Damn you math geeks. Why must you come here and spew your incomprehensible formulas.
I agree. Can we have a car analogy? Or at least Natalie Portman?
Given a choice, I'd rather have Natalie Portman than a car analogy
I have recently changed my default search engine in Chromium to Yahoo because of Google's annoying Instant Preview "feature" that can't be turned-off.
You can turn off Google Instant using the Settings link.
