New Wheel... Same Shape

One thing I appreciated from the London presentation that I think was emphasized well by SG and made an impact with those present is the fact that chip designers will not need to change their way of designing chips. (or more precisely, be worried about designing within the constraints of a new semiconductor process)
POET has the flexibility to produce IC's with, no doubt, a wide array of chip designs. Also with new devices only available using the POET process, chip designers will have the flexibility and potential previously not available to them.
I'm reminded of the presentation last year by HP showcasing "the Machine". They tried hard to extol the virtues of having to design a new Operating System from scratch and new software to take advantage of the new features of "the Machine". But my thoughts at the time were around how hard it would be to convince the entire industry ( or a big enough portion to make it feasible) to change from a Windows centric world.
What has been reinforcing my belief in the success of POET is the mass of benefits to the industry that have been built into the POET design with as little disruption to the status quo of the business side of the industry right now. Good times ahead.
