Microsoft probably did a study and found out that most people use their computer to play card games, send E-mail, chat, and surf the net. Windows XP is allright, but it is slow to respond on my 1.8 Gig Pent 4. XP is just sluggish in nature.

Microsoft is a very reactive organization. I am not surprised they would come out with just such a system. Such a device might make a nice jukebox system for MP3's. Via is trying to build a motherboard and aiming their processors at this market also. It is called something like a Mini- ITX form factor. Such a computer might have commercial applications also.
