Exactly, the 060 was only designed to keep the embedded people happy, motorolla didn't want it to be put in a desktop, only to be used as a stop gap so that people could port to the ppc in more time. It wouldn't suprise me if motorolla wouldn't starve the desktop market just because they wanted to stop support of 68k. They wouldn't lose any money as they can still sell the 040 for desktops and pursuade anyone else to move to another chip ( and the few chips that motorolla make for computers nowadays I don't think they would miss it ).
