Scumbria - re: "It is a good thing for Intel that IBM never took the x86 processor business seriously."

You couldn't be MORE WRONG !

IBM DID TAKE the x86 business SERIOUSLY ! That's why they cut the deal with Apple and Motorola to make the PowerPC !

IBM subsequently learned they couldn't compete directly with Intel in x86-land or indirectly with the PowerPC.
