My $0.02 is that I don't much care. If Intel and their cronies decide
to close their architecture, Linux as a server OS is worth enough to me,
that I'll go out and buy an Alpha or Sparc box when the PPro is getting
old and gray.
Prices aren't what they used to be, and both Digital and Sun have very
competitive hardware.
