Bob, So the question is, will it be good for information appliances to run the big, full-featured Microsoft operating systems? I don't know the the answer to that yet. I am sure that the vast majority of future information appliances will not need to run Windows in any of its incarnations. Still, there will be a big market for laptops, Windows terminals, and cheap PCs. It just makes me sick to think that Intel may corner the market on low power risc CPUs with the StrongARM. This is the 600 million unit market that Halla speaks of; he just got the processor wrong. Intel fooled everyone when they settled with Digital. Pravin.
