So VSI's choices are to either continue selling x86-64 systems to customers
and complete the missing bits, or they stop selling systems for 3 years
while they write a migration tool from the ground up for something that
will never be as close in operation as the first option above.

Hmmm, I wonder which option they will choose ? :-)

Lawrence, you manage to make the current bunch of extreme zealots on both
sides of the political landscape in the US seem reasonable.

Simon.

PS: Although given it's looking likely that one of those groups will be
heading back into power in a year's time, I wonder how I (and the rest of
the world) will feel about that then...
