RISC OS [reduced instruction set] on an ARM processor was nice [lean, mean & fast] for those of us who used to write in assembly.

i recently put win7 64-bit onto an almost bare-bones box and it runs quite happily. i've still to put a dev environment on it mind you, but i can't foresee any problems...

Every instruction could be conditional and you'd only lose 1 clock cycle if the instruction wasn't executed.

I loved the bit-shift ability of most instructions too!

Talking of assembly - I am planning to rewrite one tight loop in it from C on holidays this year, going to use Intel Compiler for it as crappy Visual Studio does not want inline assembly in 64 bit mode

I vote with my money: we stay on Windows XP Pro 64-bit, all this shiny Aero tulip is for amateurs who think they become pros by installing latest OS.



HTH

There you have it. We're all amateurs. AtW is the only pro on this forum.
