Um...last I checked Linux ran on a wide variety of CPUs, not just Intel.

Of course they're going to reuse a crapload of x86 boxen (maybe they're
AMD?), but once running Linux there isn't such a gross necessity to
purchase x86 boxen.  They could easily get some PPC or MIPS boxen in
there.

Oh, wait.  x86 boxen are WAY cheaper anyway, and not afaik because
Intel did anything illegal.  (at least, as you've pointed out, nobody's
pointed a finger at them to the same extent as M$)  So the 487 was
a full 486 that turned your 486SX into a nice little frying pan.
You still got the functionality you paid for.
