Not a 100% MS windows post, please tolerate.

Is anybody else out there interested in the I860 & I960? Does
anyone own and use one? Prices? Will they ever be mainstream on mid
to high end PCs?

What hardware other than the "wizard" is out there?

Will the next version of the MS C Compiler and/or the SDK contain
the tools which will enable your program to instruct and use this
processor? Intel people or Microsofties, please comment.

I can think of some incredible software which can be written for
windows on the PC using the I860 & I960. How about some ideas of
what people would like to do with windows and one of these babies?

Robert
