AMD resorts to using MS Paint

Budget cuts going too far?

Trying to draw or write freehand in Microsoft Paint with a mouse is a bit like trying to play the piano with jumbo sausages tied to your fingers. No matter how steady you keep your hand, your work will always look a bit like a six-year-old child’s drawing of a dog. Still, that hasn’t stopped AMD from using Paint (or at least it certainly looks like Paint) to edit this highly professional-looking graph at AMD GAME!

Perhaps AMD is trying to prove that it’s more down-to-earth than Nvidia and is in touch with the kids, or maybe someone at AMD thought the graph’s figures needed clarifying and couldn’t find the Text tool. Whatever the reason, we’re now holding out for some classic 2D fill-tool action in the next Ruby demo.
