Dan,
Re -- I think x86 is important for the industry. Therefore, Intel should make the x86 an open standard.

The x86 instruction set is an OPEN STANDARD. Thus AMD and Cyrix etc.. The RISC camp decided to discard this, and design their own and failed.

Previously there hasn't been a single successful language, that has been proprietary. Sun it seems is in a tight situation. They don't have the resources to control and advance the standard, but if they give it up ol MSFT will make it their own.

regards
Stockman
