Unfortunately, in the real world it is far less expensive and complicated 
to support one architecture than multiple architectures, especially in 
large installations.  This is in terms of both hardware (i.e. 
interchangable parts and bulk purchase) as well as support personnel 
(usually harder and more expensive to find talent that understands both or 
to duplicate personnel for each support need).

Reality bites.....
