MIPS wants to sell chips. All I'm pretty sure Olivetti is also in it (they didn't use to be MIPS customers, and indeed went so far as to announce an Intel860 box, but that was, I believe, canceled, and they are now going MIPS); and I *think* Sony was also at the launch, despite the big-endianness and the System V Rel. 4 which, I think, runs on their current MIPS portable WS (desktop NeWS run pure BSD43, or they used to until not long ago, at least).
