I would add that the NeXT Computer was faced with similar problems, and had to switch between different processors several times.

Apple/NeXt has much experience with technical challenge of porting entire platforms to different processors and with the business challenges of being tied to critical technologies you do not control.

NeXT used the 68k from inception to purchase by Apple. While they tinkered with 88k and PPC, they never shipped those.

They shipped NeXTstep for x86, SPARC, and PA RISC too.

Very true, but the post I responded to claimed NeXT "had to switch between different processors several times", which isn't correct.
