Darren...Re Integration and speed race. You said.."Unfortunately, I don't think there is any money to be made
in creating a slow integrated piece unless it is marketed outside the Windows
market where speed doesn't matter"

I would point out that if you are correct that the fastest processor isn't necessary for a satisfying windows computing experience- then consumers can adjust- it benefits the pocketbook. The new and growing low to mid-priced market is evidence. No? The Stock market follows the consumer market- often plays catch-up. More importantly and longer term, when the speed limit is reached....what will be better than Integration? I think NSM needs to stay alive AND lead in Integration until that day. Parroting Gilder as I have before...there are no guarantees..and if that's hype I'll have to look-up the word again!

I'd get a kick out of Linux and Corel playing a role..BG. But while Linux grows...I think acceptance of Linux by households may be harder to come by than acceptance of slower processors. But I can hope- and even think the odds are decent it can happen.
