re: PSN

Although you have some very good points against the inclusion of the PSN in Intel's CPU's, consider the benefits of having it from a business point of view.

While we have become used to receiving free software and services (information, etc.) over the internet, in the long term companies will find it more and more difficult to continue providing these things for free (especially if they're relatively high value-added). If the PSN allows software-oriented businesses to rely exclusively on the web for distribution it should have a dramatic positive impact on web usage both for business and for the consumer.

I, for one, am happy to pay for the value I receive over the internet. If the PSN is necessary for providers to become comfortable using the net as their product delivery vehicle, then I see it as a plus.
