Chuck & Kash, re:<Very good for apps like DVD playback where you have repetitive stuff - due to the trandslation cache>

I understand that they are now saying its for embedded applications (DVD playback is a good example). The thing is, what does it need x86 compatibility via software translation for? Why not write the DVD decoding in the native code of the Transmeta, if you're going to sell 10's of thousand of DVD players? In that case, the code morphing technology is useless.
