No, some of the best employees and good buddies of the lame mgt team at the top were kept, from both Mpact and Taps project. They were given pewter handcuffs. It's a sad ending to a once potentially great company.

I suppose the real question (like I care) should be: what media and CPU peformance does the low end PC need and will either the Murky or Whitless meet it ? Is system-on-a-chip even the right approach ?

Interesting that the byte multiplex instruction you so adore, perhaps the single most powerful instruction along with MAC, was in other processors before Mpact and AltiVec.

AMD K8 should be interesting too.
