Personally, I *still* don't care. Rather than virtual x86's, I would
rather have a "virtual processor" so I don't have to care about x86,
PowerPC, Alpha, etc. I'm tired of "processor specific". Given that people
don't actually care about overall performance in 90+% of all applications,
it's time we dumped that whole issue in the trash.
Funny- the number one complaint I hear from anyone who uses computers is
how slow the apps are. Specifically loading and processor intensive parts
(not so much the sit around waiting for a keyboard press parts). You must
know a lot of people running old versions of software on very new PCs,
because anyone on slightly older PCs (2-3 years old) or running the most
recent version of apps bitch like crazy about performance.
For myself- I've never had a problem with processor specific stuff.
Granted, I don't own a PowerPC, Alpha, etc. But I know I'd be utterly
unwilling to give up the rperformance to have everything in some byte code
and interpreted.
