I agree that with web-apps running in javascript and wide use of java and other VMs legacy binaries are much less of an issue now. If Google or someone else decides to build a Mill-based chromebook or android device we would all be quite happy. And if x86 compatibility becomes an issue, it will be a matter of writing the code for it. It’s been done before…

But I take it from both of your reactions that x86 (or any other CPU) compatibility is not part of the plan for Mill CPUs (like the SoftMachines guys clearly do). If the power and speed numbers come out as planned I guess there’s plenty of opportunity for a Mill anyway.
