WOW WebTv has dotted the eyes and crossed the teas.It is almost like
msft is dumping the pc as a consumer product.The world gets stranger
everyday.If IDT can remain the cpu supplier for WebTv it will
really add up.However WebTv will eat into the consumer pc market
In fact for alot of folks it is a total no brainer ....250 bucks
and I just plug it into my tv next to my vcr or 1000 bucks and
have to learn a whole bunch of computer stuff and remember that
60% of u.s. households are still sans pc's.My guess is the reason
is not just financial .... ease of use maybe the real reason.
I think the MIPS business jumped 50% q to q(10 to 15 mil).

Question...What is the difference between the set top box TCI
is building and WebTv?If the delta is small then why not use
WebTv as the set top box?
