You forgot the new OS wars, which happen on top of this "platform". Remember guys, one more layer of abstraction is all we need, then there will be no more problems forever!
ROFL, at some point there will be a javascript CPU (https://twitter.com/steipete/status/1047415826083729408) - and the entire OS will be asm.js. Then the cycle will begin anew with web browsers being built for the OS. God help us all D:
Buried deep down in the microcode of that CPU will still be an implementation of 8086 real mode, which will still be the default boot state.
