The advertising was where I was going with it. The tv folks manage to put up a lot of shows based on untargeted advertising to an unknown audience. Last time I saw the #'s, people were spending more time online than watching tv. You give them the access and apps for free, paste them with targetted ads they can respond to, and charge through the wazoo for the advertising and feedback.
Its bad for intel, dell and so forth, because I dont need much of a computer at home (the old thin client brouhaha) and I dont really need to change it unless it breaks.
There arent a lot of apps that demand more...digital video manipulation, 3d fps games...a few other items. I think many people might get by nicely on an appliance hooked to a set of services. Not businesses, but home users.
