Progress?

This is beginning to take on the smell of a Flame Forum.

If you are so smartie pants that these articles B-O-R-E you , go write your own paper. These are valuable comments to the masses.

Maybe we have had parallel systems for years in UNIX. How many of the daily masses have a parallel UNIX system running in their home?

I enjoyed the article, I had musings on the subject 20 years ago. My reasoning required a "system/ master" processor that all the other processors used as a gateway to the system. Processes have to be authorized. Since in todays multi-threaded programs/ applets/ processes, there is no "master" processor. The king and subject are the same.

Early on even M$ allowed the option of dedicated processors for certain tasks, unfortunately, it wasn't the system. Not that it would make much difference in their bloated malware.

I use windows because I have to in an academic environment. Almost all our labs are XP. We have some macs, but they are old PPC's. I use it because many applications are available for it. I don't like it because I don't trust M$ to do what is in my best interest.
