This is when the workers should band together and try to find positions at other companies. Losing a whole bunch of critical people at once will cripple their business, and the sub-par talent they hire to replace them will tank the company.
Common sense does not require a citation.
However, that post was not common sense. It was a made up "fact" based on what someone "felt" was right.
In other words, that post was equivalent to religious doctrine.
I actually looked into the possibility of running Windows programs for x86 on other processors.

Same method applies to both WINE and ReactOS.
In essence, you run the program on an x86 emulator (like QEMU). Supposedly little of the actual program is x86-specific, the majority is resources and Windows API calls. QEMU takes care of the platform-specific code, and any API requests are sent to Wine, which is compiled for the processor. That way it's not emulating the entire OS or the entire Win32API, which is supposed to allow performance up to 50% of native.

Then we just need two reviews, one biased in Microsoft's favor, and one biased against Microsoft.
