That's a neat trick; I thought you had to run Unix (which the i486 will do
acceptably) to have a workstation.  Using MS-Windows puts you clearly in the
toy market.  [cynic mode off]

[NOTE: This is rather obviously not Intel's position on MS-Windows, but rather
 mine and that of a large trans-corporate trans-national group of sentient
 beings.  Your mileage may vary.  Rate subject to date and availability.  Void
 where prohibited by law.  Ingest this opinion only with the included levity.]
