ice Home-Office market, I would wholeheartedly welcome the arrival to the m=
arket of a PowerPC/Power motherboard.  I would commission local builders to=
 create servers and desktops that would have that one extra layer of protec=
tion from malware.=0A=0AI believe it would also give developers a platform =
to hone their skills on a native platform for the embedded market.=0A=0AI w=
holeheartedly endorse the creation of a PowerPC/POWER motherboard.  I'll be=
 one of the first customers.=0A=0AAll my best - Chris Reich; Rochester, New=
