Origami Not A Gaming Machine
Gamespot reports that despite earlier reports, Microsoft's Origami isn't intended as a portable Xbox. From the article: "As shown in the leaked video, Origami machines will feature a touch-sensitive screen a la Microsoft's tablet PC line, will run Windows XP, and will be priced lower than most full-size laptops, running from around $500 to $1,000. If that price tag seems too low for a mobile PC with a high-end graphics chip--which would be necessary to run the Halo footage shown in the leaked concept video--that's because it is. The AP article says flat-out that the Origami is 'not a portable version of Microsoft's Xbox videogame console,' nor is it 'a music player designed to take on Apple Computer Inc.'s mega-popular iPod.'"
Isn't it obvious?

I still have more fans than freaks. WTF is wrong with you people?
It's a chair, that folds on impact, kind of like oragami. It is going to save Microsoft loads of cash with all the chair throwing that they like to do up there.

Actually they are looking for the stupid and rich category.
According to Dogbert (somewhere on one of scot adams sites) there are always 4 target demographics:
The smart and poor
The smart and rich
The dumb and poor
The dumb and rich
I'd say they are going to the 4th option.
