a consumer electronics tivo-like OS emerges If Dell becomes mostly a reseller of electronics equipment it will be competing not only against the Best Buy's of the country, but every person who can get a bulk deal and build a website or place items on E-Bay. Manufactures don't always get the large part of the profit. Take for example, disk drive makers. They make an incredible and precise product but they get doodly-squat return on their money. This is because almost nobody wants to buy a disk drive unless it is part of a bigger product. It's the final assembly or manufacture that can choose from suppliers and squeeze their own operations. If you resell another manufacturer's retail-ready product you can only squeeze so far or they sell it to someone else. IMHO the winner of a tivo-like OS will be the one who can tie up exclusive content, because the barrier to making the device is too low. TP
