It leaves us with asian hardware..... and a growing user population.
Still... I'd be surprised to see this stuff from Sun or IBM.
MS/Intel.... particularly ms..are often a different story.
Running AMD chips on an asian motherboard is scarcely a hardship. If we lose some pieces of software living legally in us/eu repositories, there are other options. I doubt it will come to this, though.
