Re: "Thinking about the Willy 1 and Willy 2, it occurred to me that the hardware enthusiast sites will not recommend (should not recommend with clear conscience), since the systems will not be upgradeable in the future.
A non-upgradeable product that has a life expectancy of about 6 months will not be popular with people who upgrade often."

Comment: No doubt that will pose a problem for Intel but the much larger problem remains production of sufficient numbers for the retail market...I remain exceedingly skeptical of Intel's production capabilities around top-end Pweeiii's and even more skeptical around the some-time-in-the-future-if-ever Willy's! I'll have to see it in the retail channel before I believe any of the current Willy hype!
