But the story said...
... it was the DVD-encoder conflicting with SP2. Whether or not it turns out that somehow it was AMD's fault, the fact remains that if you believe it is the software, it's poor form to blame the hardware in your headline. And it smacks of the anti-AMD, pro-Intel bias often seen in ZDNet articles.
