The Intel Developer Forum is currently in full swing, but it kicked off with a speech by Intel CEO Paul Otellini. Well, there's bad news for those of us who long for a time where lots of different architectures compete with one another, ensuring that technology is moved forward. Otellini's plans for Intel basically come down to one thing: x86 everywhere.

PowerPC makes programmers' lives easier.
ARM everywhere makes programmers' lives easier.
68000 everywhere makes programmers' lives easier, and we'd all get back to programming as God intended to boot: in 32 bits. ;-)
This much is sure: x86 will not be everywhere anytime soon, at least as long as there are embedded systems.
