- Not only that, but every time there was an upgrade to the development tools
- that were 'supported' (for a time) or if you purchased tools for a different
- processor, it appeared that they were always done by a completely different
- development group. There appeared to be very little consistancy of operation
- between them. Products created with one version often could not be recreated
- without much difficulty using the 'update'. This was extremely annoying and
- led to finally dropping the use of Intel products by the company I was
- working for at the time.
