x86 is more proprietary than Windows

Let's not even go into how kludge-ridden x86 is and the prefix bytes and segments and all that Z80 compatibility crap. This is just about the licensing. Some ``free software'' folks are perfectly happy with using x86 and giving Intel more money, instead of using a truly open architecture like SPARC (GPL licensed). Intel fans mention AMD and VIA (who both have a limited-time license from Intel) as some kind of proof that x86 is ``open''. It's safe to say that the Windows platform is more open because ReactOS and WINE (which are both unaffiliated with Microsoft) can run Windows software without their developers being sued by Microsoft. How can someone who claims to support free software advocate using non-free hardware from a monopolist that played the same dirty tactics with PC manufacturers on AMD and non-x86 manufacturers that Microsoft played on OS/2 and *nix?

ARM is goy shit.  Purely functional languages are fucking shit.

ARM is also proprietary. Implementers must license the architecture.

Israel and Saudi Arabia will both be nuked in World War 3. Israel will be wiped clean off the map. Intel's x86 grotesque desert-bazaar style architecture will die. The baroque and upwardly European architecture of ARM will prevail.

Europeans are reawakening. Your subversive nature will be your undoing. Divine fate is on our side.
