Opps, ya beat me too it ro3dog =)
For about a year now I've been following the toms hardware forums, and I've noticed a trend here towards hating the Inquirer.... Thinking the claims were just exaggerated, I never gave it much thought.... Now that I've actually spent some time reading the various articles they put out, I've gota say.... The INQUIRER is a extremely crappy news source, with immature retarded kids writing the articles! Seriously, what the hell is wrong with those people?
Some of the articles are hard to even follow, because they are soo poorly written, or confusing when for example- calling FireFox- "Firebadger" and "Firerodent"........ It is FireFOX you immature bastards, and it is one of the best browser on the net, get used to it!
They think they are being cute\witty\funny by doing that, when really it is just annoying, and it makes my eyes sore for some strange reason. To read such mindless dribble and make sense of it is a chore. They seem to do something of that nature in nearly every article (or at least all the ones I've read, which isn't much, nor do I want to read more).

Otherwise, the R700 in May huh? lol.... We've heard some counter evidence to this, with AMD wanting to delay R700 until 2008 so they can "return to profitability", but then again that wouldn't make sense, considering the graphics department ATI currently seams to have more viable and profitable technology then the CPU department. I don't see people going crazy to get their hands on any Phenom, yet the 3870 and 3850 seam to be doing quite well in sales.
I personally believe the R700 can be ready by then, but I don't trust AMD right now to do the right things. Either way, I think this claim by the INQ is a lot of hot air and BS personal opinions portrayed as reliable wisdom
