Thanks Rande, I surely knew you would appreciate the effort. I think this scenerio is more likely than not, but beyond that I think the evaluation of Intel remains strong. A Next-Generation (Dolphin, X-Box,PSX2,Dreamcast) game machine with a VGA out, parallel port, USB port, and keyboard mouse (via USB of course) is a serious contender for all home applications instead of a Wintel machine.
Yes that means that Netscape builds a custom browser for it. Yes that means there is no Microsoft software on the machine except plugins, yes that means that Java utilized in its true sense, Yes that means that you don't need an Intel CPU, yes that means Daisy- chained USB devices.
Most people are unaware that US video game sales are greater than the movie industry.
Anyway, the meltdown is a theory, an educated guess, a hypothesis, we shall see, but I am on the record. It was no vision or anything, its my intuition, my big fat gut told me, feed the gut. Its easy for me to blown out here, Intel just has to meet everyones expectations.
