You've gotta be joking, ship the chip - damn the OS and apps

Shipping the emulator to the Linux community was a stroke of genius. Looks like GCC-x86-64 is already taking shape (How many years did a Merced compiler take to write?). I won't be surprised if we hear of Linux booting on the simulator in a few weeks.

Microsoft must be rushing to get a Windows port under way. Nothing like the threat of a flood of cheap, high-performance, Linux-only servers to provide some incentive.

Eric,

You've gotta be joking, ship the chip - damn the OS and apps.

I am losing you. Is this your advice for Intel or AMD?

Atleast, they [Intel, Microsoft and others] have real problems to provide real solutions for.

I hope we will hear one day about these real solutions. All we hear are the real problems.

Joe
