Actually, I don't know that the main article is true. I cannot find any other reference to it. I cannot find any publication called Economic News.

I also doubt if such is really going to happen as there would be serious anti-trust considerations in the US and Europe.

I think that Microsoft is seriously sneaking into the PC hardware business with the X Box. It doesn't take too much brains to figure out that the X Box is a full PC that isn't fully programmed.

But I do think that VIA-Cyrix will be a major player in the future of basic PCs. Today's basic PCs are fairly equipped!
