Here is a banner example that sometimes rewriting software does make sense. Since 1985, QNX has rewitten thier OS three times, first QNX 2.x, then QNX 4.x and now RTP 6.x. All rewritten from scratch and all better than the last.
That would probably have been a derivitive of QNX 2.x. We used QNX 2.x exclusivley at a company I worked for. It was our desktop system from accounting to engineering. All running on ARCNet.
Since then QNX has moved up in the world. QNX 4 has full posix compliance and is very much like a normal *NIX. 6.x is so much like *NIX on the command line, that you can barely tell the difference.

The best thing that I ever did was move most of my server equipment into the basement and run a cable up to the 2nd floor office. Everything looks cleaner and it is much quieter.

I have my P4 Celernon 2.0 Ghz clocked at 2.9 Ghz with the OEM fan on it, nothing else. 3.3 from a 2.8 is not so great.
And to think, I used to use an Axe to hack at my furniture.

Motorola essentially quit making processors some time back.
