I don't see any foreboding of doom of the Power processor line.  You have
the forthcoming POWER 5 announcements (Simultaneous multithreading,
Subprocessor partitioning, Dynamic firmware updates, Enhanced scalability,
parallelism, High-throughput performance, Enhanced memory subsystem, etc.)
with POWER 5+ and POWER 6 enhancements already planned.  You also have
OS/400 and Linux running on the POWER technology as well as AIX.  You also
will have XBox, Playstation, and Nintendo future implementations based on
POWER.  Of course, things could change but from my perspective the future
looks good for POWER.....

You do understand that the iSeries runs on a Power processor?  Did you read
the line which says "When AIX crumbles, can the Power product line be far
behind?"  Does that concern you at all?
