Except a new architecture brings with it non-trivial software compat and operational overhead. If you are 100% in control of your software the former is manageable, but how many of us really are? The trick here is to make the new platform attractive enough it survives the stupid test, i.e. I'd be stupid not to try this out! That implies either very cheap or very fast or.. both.
