Let's agree to disagree.

Not all IoT hyped devices will be embedded system models,
but let's leave it as that.

I am talking potential OpenVMS futures (remember - I did
state ARM platform) and you are talking about capabilities
and pricing models that exists today.

Bottom line - VSI cannot risk putting all of its future eggs
in one (X86-64) basket.
