As much as I can't stand Microsoft products, let us be honest here. The
fact that Microsoft owns the DOS-PC software market doesn't mean that
it is not capable of gunning just as hard for the PowerPC market. If
the Intel ship goes down I guarantee you Bill Gates will NOT be on it.

Intel, on the other hand, is worse off. I would say the chances are
better than even that Intel's dominance of the Processor market will
soon seem like a bad dream.
