It makes one wonder!   I've tried to talk / email anyone in AMD that 
LTSP is the killer app just waiting to use all
the good AMD products from thin-client Geode to Opteron servers but they 
miss the point totally!  they keep talking
about windows CE / hardisks / server 2003 etc   I've suggested that they 
should talk to the likes of Jim and Eric and develop
hardware packages to target schools / business's But unfortunately they 
don't get it!?
