Bizzare, M$ without Intel.. What's next? Cats and Dogs getting along?
Considering the specs of the new Xbox, how about AmigaOS running natively on Microsoft hardware? :-D
If this comes true which it looks like it will, my hat will be off to Hyperion. They took alot of heat a few years ago when they insisted PPC would become dominant in the near future. M$ using it would indicate that, should help to drop prices down too. Right
The future of the CPU-market looks very uncertain at the moment. The x86 has been pushed as far as possible; a new generation must come soon.
What AMD and Intel has kept doing until now could easily be compared to Motorola continiuing to develop the 68k-series to 3k+ GHz-levels.
I don't think that Intel's future is so bright anymore.
There will be problems if the x86-platform is split up, and I don't think that AMD, Intel and Via will cooperate to create a successor to the x86.
Exciting times ahead for sure... Who knows? You know how Apple has kept an up-to-date version of MacOS for x86? What if M$ has the same for PPC? :-D I mean, there was a version of NT4 for PPC once...
