Re: "Doesn't take a genius to figure out that Microsoft will give away the hardware and rake it in on the software..."

Wake up, Jimbo - ALL the GAME CONSOLE manufacturers have been doing this for 5 years - have you been asleep?

Re: "which likely means Intel will be squeezed out of any real profit on the chip unless they write them off and then retrieve them from the dumpster. "

You are still confused. Microsoft may give away the X-BOX for free - but where do you get the idea that Intel will be giving their processors away free to Microsoft?

Remember - once the Pentium III/Timna is designed in to the X-BOX, Intel is in the driver seat - Microsoft won't exactly be able to plug an AThWiper into the Pentium III/Timna sockets ! They will require a complete system redesign !
