Mitchell, I was at the Windows CE developers conference which was held at the beginning of this week in San Jose. In the tradeshow part of the conference, ATI (symbol ATY.TO)was demoing a reference design for a digital set-top box that is running Windows CE. The box includes a built-in DVD player and can run DirectX games from a DVD-ROM. The product is very much at alpha stage, but all of the basic functions of the box were operational at the show. More info about what ATI is up to can be found at: biz.yahoo.com ATI is a big player in the PC graphics card business and also does a lot of work with TV-related technologies. They are levraging of this technology in their set-top box design. Intel is designing a similar line of set-top boxes also running Windows CE. The PC technology companies, like ATI and Intel, see digital set-top boxes being sold directly to the consumer rather than being rented from the cable companies. This will become possible if the cable companies agree on standards of what the bits look like coming down the cable wire. Richard
