How can you get mainstream support when nobody has it to program for it?
- rbanffy 9y agoSeeding programs. You give your hardware to selected partners so they can develop for it before it hits general availability.
- wfunction 9y agoNot sure how that would work in this sort of situation but I suppose I can't rule it out...
- rbanffy 9y agoIf tomorrow IBM came out with a POWER8 box at a price point competitive with my Xeon E3 workhorse running full Fedora 25 or Ubuntu 17.04, I wouldn't think twice. Same goes for Oracle and SPARC. The lowest POWER goes is in the mid E5 range, which I can't justify for my home office.
