Intel isn't the problem for the PC world, it's Dell and the Chinese companies that will continue to offer computers so cheap that the unwashed, numb-minded masses will never be able to "afford" to switch.

Dell may be able to make a Mac Mini knockoff, but I hope it turns into a loss leader, like the XBox, hardware-wise. Microsoft will then have to reduce the price of the OS to make the box cheap and that will cut into the earnings of both companies! Hopefully that will cause a slow bleed.

We are now seeing that there are alot of us who are tired of CFO's charting the direction of the computer industry. It should be the engineers and designers job to do that.
