thank you...given the announcement hype, you would have thought that IBM would control the production of the new chip process along with the embedded software to run the chip.

It looks like all OS vendors are climbing aboard the I2O bandwagon, or so says InfoWorld:

infoworld.com

I particularly like the way the article starts:

Posted at 3:48 PM PT, Jul 28, 1998
Microsoft, Novell, and SCO have delivered their promised operating system service modules for the I2O architecture. Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Sun Microsystems have also announced that their OSes will support the architecture.

James, I think you missed an important aspect of SOI -
high performance at low power consumption. SOI can reduce
the power requirements at any given clock rate by nearly
2/3's. That's significant, and will usher in a whole new
generation of mobile devices that have a lot more processing
power. This, in turn, plays into Wind's strength of speeding
time-to-market for sophisticated 32-bit designs.
