Why hasn't Intel or AMD exposed a RISC interface? It would allow developers to target either the legacy one or the newer one.
It seems like this would be a great avenue for weaning people off x86 without incurring huge performance losses while at the same time keeping legacy support.
Doing that makes way more sense than banning open source from their store, but it's in a similar vein.
They don't want to be hit with daily copyright infringement lawsuits from the morons who buy Xboxen, claiming Microsoft is misusing the video/3d content they created.
By the same token, they don't want to get into situations where they're getting sued for failing to provide source on request from people or paying legal staff to determine how to handle the myriad of open source licenses out there. This has the nice side effect of not encouraging open source (knife the baby, etc).

Poor RMS.
I hope they'll make some movies exploring other areas of the Blade Runner universe. Recasting Deckard, the replicants, etc would be terrible.
But the universe is awesome, I'd welcome more stories from there.
That's way off base.

...which are running Linux and Enterprise Java.
