Why x86 needs to die

I had a customer that bought all hardware he found in Ebay from Step 5 Automation... I bet he is still running it and it got officially out of "replacement guarantee" in 2008.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Intel has already announced that the legacy 16 bit "real mode" will be going away in their next chip design. However, Intel has also recognized there is still a lot of 16-bit software, so instead of dumping "real mode" entirely, it will be moved into a virtual processor and emulated by the virtual machine's hardware.

Does that mean that the new chips without real mode will be unable to run real time operating systems?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You can run it in a virtual machine.

RTOS systems are already running in Intel protected modes. Remember, the only requirement for an RTOS that isn't in a general purpose system is that from the response to an event has a predetermined time to occur, regardless of other system requirements. Even OpenVMS could be tuned to become a real-time operating system. I know, I worked on an OpenVMS system that met the requirements of a RTOS. Real mode in the x86 line of processors is nothing more than a chip level memory management scheme, one that doesn't support virtual memory.

That is a great movie - I have spread it to quite a number of my friends and contacts. There are people who are not getting the point even after watching this movie.

There are people that do not get the point, no matter which point, even when the point is hitting their heads. :sigh: :sigh:
