The history is clear, IBM offered it to killdall, he wasn't willing to sign contracts signing his soul to IBM, microsoft pounced on an oprotunity. "tricked" please. Not to mention I don't think Kildall had what it took to wrecklessly fight his way to the top of the market.
Considering Intel chips are outperforming IBM PPC chips... I would say they and AMD would laugh and keep putting out new processors. I could see reason for somthing like CherryOS where you could run a 'debatebly' superior OS to better hardware. IF you are desperate for a RISC computer go get an SGI workstation.
Whenever a new episode of Stargate comes out a bittorrent streams it live as it is created... I'm not sure exactly how they're doing it but they're doing. The reason nobody is legally doing it because the distributors pay them I.E. the local broadcasters and sattelite/cable companies for usage. It's an extra dollar they wouldn't make. Actualy it's an extra million dollars they wouldn't make.
