Is this the man to blame for the R600 disappointment?

Something wrong is going on there. First they are trashing the HQ in Markhamm, and now this? It seems that AMD is taking full control over ATI. This is really bad, what next?

Anyone who was around last year when this merger/takeover was announced knows how I felt about it then. It makes me sick now.

I don't like what's developing under the AMD umbrella.

The reason AMD is taking full control is because ATI screwed them big time. They probably bluffed about R600 so AMD thought buying them would be a huge advantage.

No doubt, the merger sucked so far. I really hope someone will start cleaning up the mess around. Market without ATI would suck badly with overpriced GeForce cards.
