If Microsoft supported Rhaspody, they'd lose out in the OS market...are
you sure about this?  Microsoft supports various platforms, but not other
OSs (with the exception of MacOS--can't piss off the Justice Department
too much!).  Microsoft is planning to release NT5 for the Intel, Alpha,
and the Mac 750 chips.  On the other hand, Intel will be (fairly?) soon
releasing the Merced chip which is a fundamental shift from CISC to RISC
architecture.  Moving away from the rather shakey x86 CISC line, should
put them head-to-head with other RISC based chip manufacturers.
