   The only thing tiny here is your knowledge.  This "tiny" selection of 7   
   different processors is MORE than enough to show that your claim is complete   
   and utter nonsense. You know... the ignorant claim you made of -   
   "Microsoft's Visual Studio tools, which are confined to just *ONE* measly   
   architecture."   
      
   Once again you have no idea what you're talking about.
