In the same way, the DirectX control could
instruct the PC to play a sound or video.
Microsoft will encourage DVD vendors to
include Chrome code on their disks "to
encourage a user to take his DVD disk out of
his [consumer] player and put it in his PC," said
Eric Engstrom, general manager of Internet
multimedia at Microsoft.

For now, current accelerators are powerful
enough to handle the information typically
stored in the Chrome browser implementation,

re: New DVD Laptops; The MAG notebook does not have a decoder...

According to MAG Support.

Their latest system the 850CDT will use a standard 24x CD-ROM.
A DVD drive is an option, but they will not be offering/bundling a MPEG 2 decoder PCMCIA card which is required to view DVD movies.
"This will be left to the consumer to purchase on his own."

Cube sales better give 'em a call.
