Why do you say that? It seems like it has a lot in common with
the microcode I write for PowerPC devices here at Motorola.
When a designer buys an MPCxxx, she can use all the functions of
the chip -- even those that need the microcode to work -- with her
choice of operating system, libraries, and applications -- without
compromising Motorola's control over the hardware or the microcode.
