Looking into my crystal ball... I think someone at Intel should call someone at Linspire and send a few of those cheap "farmer PC's" into rural South Korea as well. Not as big a market as China, but Intel can probably charge a little more in S. Korea. Intel could gain a lot of good press for being the good guy in the emerging markets. Thanks for the story Tom. |

You're welcome. I think you have a good idea. Perhaps Intel doesn't want to become that high profile in a Microsoft fight. It's difficult to say. |

I believe that both Intel and AMD will both supply what the market wants and what will make them a profit. If that comes down to supplying cheap boxes for Korea or China, they will fight tooth and nail for the privilege ;-) Any ties to MS are purely market driven. |
