No impact on Cube. Intel's chip can already do this. Software DVD seems to be chosen by some PC OEMs today, because DVD standards are not stable. New revisions, or up-dates could come out. If an OEM is using software + acceleration, they can up-date the software and keep their customers compatible for the next few months. When larger volumes have shipped, all new players/DVD-PCs will need to stick to the standard for backward compatability. That will eliminate this argument. This does not fix the Divx problem, however.
