Doesn't just about everything decent spank the Itanic?

It's time for another "Love Live the ALPHA!" thread...

I wish Intel could end the x86 game, and start spending all those
transistors on a really decent CPU.

We have no need for x86 any more, Microsoft be damned.

Run that crap under emulation until either M$ gets a clue and
makes portable software, or they simply cease to matter any
longer.

Yes, I'd like fries with that order.
