That's not true - how well it works depends completely on the quality of
the underlying compiler. The same C code (assuming you mean the original
Unix) would be compiled for both. The style of chip design has no bearing.

My PC can run Linux, BSD, Windows (all versions), BeOS and Minix. In fact,
using VMware, it can run all of them at once. Your point? :-)
