    This year for Valentine's Day, I hung out with NVIDIA.

    Sounds very romantic! I hope they didn't get too frisky.

    If this is true then the guy who told me that in the Nvidia booth at CES on the upper floor of the South Hall completely lied to me. I asked him to confirm it 3 times, and he did, outlining that initially it would be only for Vista and that it would be released a couple months from the show, around the time the new GPU's that fully offloaded video processing would debut.

    It kind of made sense to me, since given the changes in API's needed to do complete video offloading to the GPU would be different than the existing purevideo HD calls, but if they are going to wait for all the 3rd party guys to release new codecs that advantage of the hardware, then it's going to be awhile before the new capabilities are exercised.

    I am quite pissed now that they nvidia staff person would outright lie to me.
