As much as I'd love to see x86 go the fuck away, we have a lot more proven stuff working on that architecture -- including a lot of legacy or closed-source software that won't get ported soon. > Also, the propreties that they are getting feel like being knocked back a decade--is it due to the fabrication facilities that they have?

Top of the line stuff needs a lot of money and expertise -- Russian companies don't have that much of the former, and Russia exports or rent^H^H^H^H uses a lot of the latter for outsourcing.
