MAXQ is aimed at very low power consumption applications. They have
been trying desperately to sell it to us. Unfortunately for any real
project we've considered, MSP430 is indistinguishable from MAXQ power-
wise. We have a lot of investment in ARM, AVR and MSP430; MAXQ is just
"yet another proprietary microcontroller" with no really compelling
feature. No sale.
