> "Now, when is Microsoft going to release a PCI Express card that lets me boot my x64 Windows PC into RISCOS running on ARM?" Can't tell if the author is referencing this or it's a coincidence, but 25 years ago there was a RISCOS machine popular in schools in the UK with a plugin x86 card to boot Windows 3.1 and run other IBM PC compatible software. Acorn Computers, the Archimedes range of desktops, and the card was from Aleph One using a Cyrix 486 chip. When Acorn was broken up, ARM Holdings was one of their subsidiaries which carried on. http://www.riscos.com/the_archive/acorn/products/riscpc/pccard/index.htm http://www.riscos.com/the_archive/acorn/products/riscpc/pcca... and http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/docs/Mags/PCW/PCW_Dec92_Aleph1PCExpCard.pdf http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/docs/Mags/PCW/PCW...
