Last week, I talked about the cell processor expected from Sony and IBM. This week I want to think out loud about what happens in the industry if Toshiba launches a PC based on this processor into the Asian market and IBM promptly follows suit with a series aimed at the American and European markets. Such a machine would run Linux, be compatible with most Linux software, and come with a subscription license to a suite of IBM software built around Lotus Workspace.

Your article has good points but the obsolete x86 achitecture argument was used in 1995, when AIM goes for a much better RISK design (PowerPC), but failed to deliver a much promised better performance.
The number you show in performance are very impressive but will be real?. I hope so (after all I'm writing this in a PowerMac with Linux :) ), but time will tell.
