Think of how much better the state of the microprocessor would be IBM
had chosen the 68000 Linear Architecture rather than the 8086
Segment:Offset with separate I/O instructions and only 1 interrupt
architecture.
I don't mean to start a huge architecture argument so please don't flame me.

processor set the stage for the current technological age. It continues to
adapt and its future seems bright!
Happy computing,
