    Scenario 1: IBM will partner with a big company like Dell or Gateway and they won't utilize the specification plan of Genesi....
    Scenario 2: IBM will further it's partnership with Genesi and the world will flood with Pegasos clones making BBRV rich as Bill Gates...

    I remember a few days ago, BBRV stated that they are seriously thinking to begin licensing the Pegasos Specs. The potential customers could buy their Motherboards from other vendors and Genesi should be providing the CPU module. Now we read that IBM is interested to bring the PPC CPUs to the mainstream PC market... If they utilize Genesi's specifications (which, I'm sorry, but I think it's pretty unlikely to happen) Morphos should be able to run without many changes. IBM is doing it primarily for Linux tho.
