A better bet  dascha1 | 07/22/08
Linux architecture is ancient  qmlscycrajg | 07/22/08
Are we really sure Linux will bring architectures to even ground?  Michael Kelly | 07/22/08
What are you talking about?  techboy_z | 07/22/08
In theory yes  Michael Kelly | 07/22/08

RE: Do we need to wipe the slate with x86?  Loverock Davidson | 07/22/08
Or abandon Windows...  clfitz | 07/22/08
Exactly the reason  Loverock Davidson | 07/22/08
As long as it didn't come from Windows...  storm14k | 07/22/08
And you wonder why intelligent people don't take you...  ye | 07/22/08
Never had that problem.  storm14k | 07/22/08
You're having that problem now. (nt)  ye | 07/22/08
OHHHH....you thought you were intelligent....  storm14k | 07/22/08
@storm14k: Why would I be offended at your issues? (nt)  ye | 07/22/08
Have you ever tried Windows???  Bruizer | 07/23/08
Windows will be abandoned long before...  bjbrock | 07/22/08
It has been for years now yet somehow...  ye | 07/22/08
Oh, heck, there's nothing wrong with either...  clfitz | 07/22/08
What Linux needs is application support.  ye | 07/22/08
Not needed...  storm14k | 07/22/08
They develop on their chosen distro and release.  ye | 07/22/08
Ye I think you may be confusing packaging.  storm14k | 07/22/08
@storm14k: Then what's up with all the #ifdef?  ye | 07/22/08
As I said before...  storm14k | 07/22/08
@storm14k: There's the classic "If I repeat it often enough...  ye | 07/22/08
Ahh the old MS count rhetoric...  storm14k | 07/22/08
@storm14k: #ifdef is used for many things.  ye | 07/22/08
Impress who....  storm14k | 07/22/08
@storm14k: Really? Then what was...  ye | 07/23/08
It does already exist  txtechdog | 07/23/08
My needs are pretty basic  clfitz | 07/22/08
Can you expand on that?  TtfnJohn | 07/23/08
Yeah, I don't think so  Loverock Davidson | 07/22/08
But you just said...  clfitz | 07/22/08
It's not that simple  eretg | 07/22/08

Hmm, scrap millions (billions?) in software  No_Ax_to_Grind | 07/22/08
Its not scrapping the software  jperlow ZDNet Moderator | 07/22/08

What about virtualization?  cornpie | 07/22/08
This is not virtualization  jperlow ZDNet Moderator | 07/22/08
If we are talking about a green issue here...  Michael Kelly | 07/22/08

Apple switched from PowerPC because of lack of a good mobile chipset...  olePigeon | 07/22/08
UltraSPARC T2 would make a good mobile chipset  jperlow ZDNet Moderator | 07/22/08
SPARC Is nice  Kaiwai | 07/22/08
Why? Does backwards compatability really consume...  ye | 07/22/08
Yes it does  Kaiwai | 07/22/08
Do you have any numbers to support this? (nt)  ye | 07/22/08
Numbers to prove what?  Kaiwai | 07/22/08
@kaiwai: To support YOUR claim that backwards...  ye | 07/22/08
Apple driving EFI makes sense  The-Bytemaster | 07/22/08
I Don't Believe Mobile Was the Issue  CFWhitman | 07/24/08
RE: Do we need to wipe the slate with x86?  bitsRus | 07/22/08
