It's called AMD64 because AMD hold the patents. It doesn't matter who the manufacturer is.

Ah! So, Intel has to pay AMD a royalty on its Intel 64bit stuff?

The first thing I noticed is that it's:



Leave it to me to ask the obvious; does this mean that I don't get to keep the resulting data? Is it discarded too?

Secondly, I noticed that Sandbox requires AMD64 architecture. Nothing is mentioned about Intel, so does that mean it doesn't work on Intel's architecture?

You could copy it out somewhere to save, but the Sandbox when closed is empty. No more sand, no nothing...poof!

It's probably more complicated than that.

Of course . . . nothing's ever simple in the technology world . . .

More like the Legal world, patents and ownership rights, etc.

You can call it a Visual Spectrum Energy Emitting Device, but it's still a light bulb....

Well, I was thinking (admittedly unconsciously) about the whole world of technology and the squabbling over legal rights that goes right along with it.

Uh huh . . .

Anybody have an idea as to when Build 18305 might become available? Or is Skippy back up and running and I'm not seeing those updates? Insight please?
Thanks & happy holidays, too!
