Amy, I'm hoping that with technologies like the Whitney chipset, Intel can get some initiatives going into driving the PC onto the set-top. Perhaps this is a question that can be best answered by people in Intel Architecture Labs. I already saw a few projects there which were focused on a kind of PC-VCR using the hard drive as storage and Intel processing power for software-based encoding and decoding. The upcoming 500 MHz Celeron should easily be able to handle such tasks. Then throw in a Whitney chipset, a case no larger than a pizza box, a DVD drive, and Instant-On technology, and you'll have a serious "set-top PC." Now if only the OS and software could follow along. The PC's reliance on the bloated Windows OS could be a huge stumbling block in this transition to the set-top market. Tenchusatsu
