Was it obvious back then that Flash would be dead by now, Microsoft gives up on phones, x86 fails at gaining any foothold in the phone business and intel fails at performing the next structure shrink?
- ghaff 8y agoIt wasn't obvious that Flash would be dead. But it still seemed an odd hook (at least to me at the time) on which to hang mobile needing to be on the same architecture as desktop. I get why Intel was pushing x86. OTOH, they also pushed on other architectures for networking which also didn't pan out for other reasons.
