Miggy enemies (&bright future)

[Hammer]

Now IBM are the REAL leaders in processor technology.

Careful with that statement.

I laugh at the term 'IBM compatible'.. its more like 'genuine IBM inside'
 

Well, it’s IBM’s fault for outsourcing the OS development to Microsoft.

Much of the IT business has embraced Linux.

On what given percentage?

 

What will all those Visual Basic coders do?

1. Go to Borland's Builder products for X86 Linux
2. Run Wine for X86 Linux.
3. Wait for dotNET for Linux port.

Absolutely no one.

I disagree. What about BBRV ?

Well, Intel has a relatively low power Pentium-M product line. Pentium-M @1.6Ghz was noted to run normal office apps like a Pentium 4 @2.5Ghz.

(So much for the solely MHz = good, Intel just debunked it's own myth)...

(Pentium-M's operating frequency, voltages and Thermal Design Power).

There are potential known vendors for low power computing enabled devices;
1. Transmeta (Hardware) .
2.  Microsoft via it’s WindowsXP Embedded (OS and Software).
3. VIA (Hardware).
4. Various X86 Linux variant vendors (OS and Software) .
5. Intel via Pentium-M/Centrino CPU  (Hardware)..
6. AROS (open sourced AmigaOS clone, mostly for X86).
The main strength of points 1 to 5 will be commonality with the massive X86 market.

Outside X86
1. Intel, via it's StrongArm.
2. AMD, via it's MIPS series CPUs.
3.  Microsoft via it’s Windows CE (OS and Software).
4. 'etc'
5. Various Linux/*nix vendors.

Both MOS and AOS camp will have to approach this market with care.
