| Because, as well as what you said, it is directly relevant that an Intel or AMD
chip works differently internally, and has different microcode, but the same
binary and assembler code will run on either. Compare the microcode to the Java
or Dalvik run-time interpreter, totally different internally, and the assembler
code to Java, and you will see the similarity. Maybe Intel and AMD are just a
bit more grown-up than Oracle (or don't get bad advice from the likes of Bungle,
Schyster and Fraud)? Just because you perhaps can sue someone, it does
not follow that you should, especially when it would be pointless. SCO
did not seen to get that either, which is why I wonder about the true cause.... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

There are other reasons for socket redesigns. Higher memory speeds, reductions
in motherboard space, increased interconnect pin counts for 64 bit processors,
improvements in serialized bus communications, larger memory requirements,
multiple core CPU layouts and connection requirements, and the cooling
requirements of higer speed and density really do dictate redesigns of the
interconnects.
The "Trusted Computing" interconnects, alone, justify a socket
redesign to prevent communications intercepts to the the encryption circuitry.
Too bad that virtualization has demonstrated that copy protection architecture
as an expensive boondoggle that does not actually protect the user's privacy.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
