I would say they sucked because they required a special NT dist.  I'd say they
stank because they never introduced proper linux support (let alone BeOS, 
NetBSD, etc), and the fact that they use x86.  Even if x86 can do the job, I'm
still not happy about it.  Only 4 general registers?  For crying out load.
