Paul,

If Merced can be "exploited" by a solid Server Operating System such as Solaris, then it will have a GREAT future,
unencumbered by the constantly late - and LATER - stuff from Microsoft - which is generally mediocre at best.


Yes, but maybe Microsoft will do a bangup job on set-top box game consoles (including hardware!). They're even going to be FAIR and do a version around Athlon (after Pentium III).

According to the story, X-Box will feature a 500 MHz processor by
Intel (note: according to a follow up story in the forthcoming
November issue of Next Generation Magazine, an AMD Athlon
powered version is also planned), nVidia's NV-10 graphics
technology (recently renamed GeForce), and a modified version of
the WinCE operating system. According to the story, this will make
X-Box capable of PlayStation 2-level performance.
