Tony - Re: 'Yes, but maybe Microsoft will do a bangup job on set-top box game consoles (including hardware!). They're even going to be FAIR and do a version around Athlon (after Pentium III)."

You got that right !

Microsoft is trying to BLANKET the world - making many mediocre and half-finished products - instead of producing a few ROCK-SOLID products.

If Merced becomes the Enterprise Standard - running Linux or Solaris - Microsoft will lose a key lever they have with IT departments.

Microsoft needs to wake up and smell the Intel Coffee.
