This along with crm114 hit slashdot the other day. I'm playing with DSPAM.

Here's Intel's AMD64 clone. You have to dig a bit for them to come
out and say that its AMD64 compatible ... but then at this point,
they really can't afford for it not to be. Itanium issues notwithstanding, Opteron would eat Intel alive in the low-end server market if they didn't have an offering.

Sun screwed up Java because they were trying to use it to become Microsoft. Java would have been much more successful as a programming language had Sun not made these dumb business decisions.
