1000 pc benefits MSFT the MOST. extra cost of production SW is 0. intel may have good sales but not earning as margins will get squeezed. sorry.

It sure looks good according to the Business Week Dec 22 article's table of chip margin numbers. Re: <<The $1000 PC phenomenon is not happening at the expense of Intel, IMHO. To the contrary, I believe. While the price of CPU chips seems to have fallen a lot lately, it is only a fraction of what has been happening in the world of RAM and hard disks. I am amazed to see 32 MB EDO SIMMs for under $50 >> Intel last quarter guided gross margins long term down to near 50%. How long term did they mean.
