It's probably an example of how O/S monopoly hinders progress for _everyone_,
leaving everyone stuck in the stone32 ages. Why advance when there is no
competition? Does SPARC run on desktops? And Cell? Who would 'dare' to compete
with dumping/bribing/charity-killing/E-mail-shredding Chipzilla, which now
harasses NVIDIA for its lunch money?
