Interesting, the Submit button appears broken, but if you edit "testlinx.com" to "Xilinx.com", the registration may have worked. Not quite ready to go live then... - Brian

> What happened to 4 & 5?Looks like Xilinx marketing want to 'resync' as the Virtex 6 and Spartan 6 (and hey, it's a number higher than Altera so that's worth something in their world, right ;) Anyone seen package choices for Spartan 6 yet ? Are Xilinx going to push prices, or leave the sub $1 / Low power area to Actel ? -jg
