The fact that IBM wanted to use the 68k for it's microprocessor
is a clue as to which one is better. Can you think of any major 
computer out since the 68000 that (except for compatibility reasons)
doesn't use a 68000. Alot of the software for a 80386 is going to be
taken, without rewrite, from a 8088. That software is going to use the
'brain damaged register set' and assume a segmented archeture.

The 68000 is the wave of the future.
