Intel's StrongARM microcontrollers versus their Pentium microprocessors
What??? Take a look at the original link XScale Processor and you'll see the're not talking about a microcontroller but a microprocessor. Semantics, maybe, but the facts are that it is a capable microprocessor used in desktop hardware, not just a microcontroller destined for life controlling a washing machine.
Of course, the nice thing is that the StrongARM core also gets embedded into chips that look like microcontrollers, but are really embedded processors. We are talking a seriously different league to the good ol' 68HC11!
Other than that I entirely agree with your comments:-)

Take a look at Hugin http://hugin.sourceforge.net/. I use it for panoramas all the time and it is excellent.
