Are you surprised Intel is coming heavy into the NC game?

The whole NC approach is based on making things simpler by the fact that the end-user doesn't have to know or care which chip is in there and which OS is in there. If you think about it, that is kind of a ridiculous situation. If I pick up my cell phone, I am not asking myself if an Intel chip or a Motorola chip runs in there --or which operating system [is underneath]. It is just ridiculous that users in the late 1990s even have to know about that. The NC makes it simple by hiding all of that. Microsoft sells Windows. Intel sells chips. It is hard to believe they are going to take an approach that kind of hides that. ... They [Microsoft and Intel] have to do something, because the whole reason NCs exist is because customers realize that the cost of ownership for PCs is out of control.
