Why is this stuff so obvious to me and I'm not rich? There's got to be some other factor beyond insight, vision and wisdom that has to do with wealth...
As a former SGI developer, I loved the MIPS design, and I'd wish to see the MIPS architecture alive again, although I suppose this is an acquisition with other interests rather than the MIPS architecture itself.
Is the success being referred to a working OS on different architecture, or market uptake? The ports were functional, and there was some hardware, but the market really didn't seem to care much. ...
You are absolutely correct. People seem to forget if they ever knew that the original development systems for the Xbox 360 were Apple Power Mac G5s running Windows NT. This was years after Microsoft "dropped" PPC support in Windows NT.
