> And what about PowerPC or MIPS?
If only Apple had stayed with Power chips, providing a bit more diversity. And if only China's MIPS (moonsong, was it?) processors made it to the west.
While the way we measure the utility of technology remains by "winners" and "losers", we will continue to build insufficiently diverse environments, and be forced to allow the likes of Intel to get away with statements like "it's all working fine - reality is at fault."
