,----[ Quote ]
| Linux enjoys an added bonus over both Solaris and Windows with its
| open reputation and backing from a wide variety of vendors. The open
| source OS benefits from healthy developer interest and diverse

Despite its aging design, the x86 is still in charge
,----[ Quote ]
| Other instruction sets--which are basically, lists of operations that
| a software program can use--do exist, of course. There's IBM's Power,
| Sun Microsystems' Sparc and Intel's own EPIC (explicitly parallel
| instruction computing) Itanium project, to name a few. But x86
| continues to thrive and has no serious competitors on the horizon
| because it provides "good enough" performance and because of the
| vast amount of software written over nearly three decades.
