AMD At an event in Mumbai, soon after the completion of the acquisition of ATI, AMD announced a line of latest Vista-ready ATI Radeon graphic processors. According to Chris Jones, corporate vice president - Windows Core OS Division, "Microsoft will deliver a series of graphics innovations with Windows Vista that provide a customer experience that is second to none. We could not have achieved this without our partnership with ATI. From day one, ATI has played a key role in helping us design and validate the new driver model at the heart of Windows Vista, and ATI has since developed robust and performant drivers that highlight the capabilities of our new operating system."

"A sea change away from MS products?"

I don't think so. The $400 PC's being sold today support Vista and it won't be shipped to consumers 'till Jan or Feb of 07.

To most people "upgrade" means "buy new PC" anyway.

Therefore, "Vista" ready chips will be ompletely uninteresting for consumers right now. Situation may change in the first quarter of 2007.
