It's the return of WMC!
In the email... and in the first post... it says,
"WE WILL ALSO HAVE AN EXCITING BUNDLE OFFER FOR ALL SOLUTION PROVIDERS THAT ATTEND!"
Solution Providers == End Users?????
Think these kiddies will even know what "WMC" means? Doubtful.

Again - the cast majority of the greedy geeks trying to steal from AMD (Clearsil overdose maybe?) aren't:
[*]Professionals (Assuming AMD means RESELLERS)
[*]Not in the computer resale BUSINESS
[*]Don't need to be there or steal the bundle to satisfy CUSTOMER DEMANDS.
[*]Aren't either AMD SYSTEM BUILDER SOLUTION PROVIDERS or part of MICROSOFT'S PARTNER PROGRAM
[*]Don't have CUSTOMER DEMANDS in regards to AMD/Microsoft sales/service
[*]Aren't SOLUTION PROVIDERS
As far as the legitimacy of the AMD email i posted and/or whether or not I am not an end user, I won't even respond to the idiotic crap being posted here. No, I'm not an "end user", I'm not even a reseller. I am employed by a Tier1 master distributor, who gets the product they sell direct from AMD. There are many established, credible members on AT that know what I do, where I work, and that I am indeed in the position I say I am.
If you lazy fscks even tried to find out, you could find the info on AT.
I laugh at the posters who think I am "jealous" of the people's abilities to steal the bundles, I am a sposored ditributor at these events, and can get the same deals as everyone else. (Like I would want an AMD bundle to begin with)
I will be at the Tampa and Orlando Intel Channel Conferences this month, if anyone would like to see me. But of course, you will have to be a reseller.
PaulNEPats: (Your team sucks now BTW)
I don't see how a message board title has anything to do with this discussion.
HeroOfPellinor:
These bundles are always very much below cost - and they don't use the tech shows to clear out old inventory, more often than not - it is brand new or relatively current product.
And once again for you morons that can't read:
I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AMD'S DECISION TO RESTRICT BUNDLES TO RESELLER'S ONLY!
