> I note the author is Jean-Louis Gassee Yeah, not sure why anyone is interested in what Gassee has to say. He used to be "head of Apple's advanced product development", but was forced out for failing to deliver.[1] Also, he should get the small details right. He claims in the article The x86 nickname used to designate Wintel chips originates from the 8086 processor introduced in 1978 – itself a backward-compatible extension of the 8088…) This is exactly backwards. The 8086 was first, ahead of the 8088. Not sure why Gassee even felt he needed to throw that detail into the article (unless he's getting paid by the word), but if he's going to say it, he should at least check Wikipedia first.[2] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis_Gass%C3%A9e http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis_Gass%C3%A9e [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086
