Hey x86's not that bad!  The bad thing is that no-one has written an OS that

I'll admit that i860's are in some ways even more interesting though.

Check out http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ which claims to work on Win
(95, NT and CE), Mac, and several UNIXen.

Sometimes it seems that someone has already invented anything you can think
of.
