Good webcast.
Thanks for the link.

Hardware, even more than software, IBM plays REALLY close to the belt. The last thing in the world they want is for someone to hold off a purchase waiting on new hardware.
That being said, what you see below was not even anything I knew about beforehand.
Anyone who leaked anything would be strung up.

You could try the webcast in 90 minutes...

I was surprised to see the hardware included with the i7.3 announcement.
But not much listed.
Is there more to come?
