Some of the key specs are: Wireless networking support (on the ew5000 model), S-Video and composite video output, and MP3 and WMA support. The OS support is limited to Windows ME or XP. This is an interesting addition to their Windows Media Center based 863N, 873N, and 883N desktop models."

    1. Buy Alpha platform IP
    2. Endorse Itanium2 on HPUX
    3. Kill Alpha
    4. Kill PARISC (though implement with Itanium2 for shortterm)
    5. Sell printers to anyone except Dell and Dell's customers.
    6. ??
    7. Profit

    Tell me, how do they get past step 6 other than sell LOTS of printers and super-shitty unethical Itanium2 hardware?

    6. ?? BANKRUPT ??
