Hm two things. If this is so great, why are they waiting to incorporate it in Windows 7 - why not add it to Vista to try and regain some momentum for that pile of fail?
The other thing to note is probably that it's a decent use of all the extra idle cores on newer systems - as long as programs aren't taking advantage of multicores more than they are, why not use half the cores to do graphics processing?
Yes, of all things, the first thing that came to mind was; They are stronger than homo sapien in it's current incarnation right? Smaller brain, more brawn?
Should they then be allowed to play sports?
Or would be need "Male", "Female" and "Neandertal" events?;)
Well every serious business I've worked with have had dedicated hardware systems for it - not relying on individual client computers to be correctly configured (which they won't be because employees tend to want to install their own little things here and there, adding up to a huge security mess if filtering is not done centrally).
Either way people always balk at "free" and assume it's of lesser quality than something they have to pay for. Sometimes you can't give away perfectly good hardware, but if you charge a minimal amount it'll go quickly.
So "do no evil" is pretty much over, right? Seems every new move Google makes these days is the same sort of thing we'd be criticizing other scumbag companies for.
So not only will be have to deal with the 'spill over' into our seat space from our obese friends - we also effectively have to pay extra because they're on the flight? There's only one place the airline will recoup the loss of the extra seat, and that's on everyones fare price.
I wonder if this will hit american airlines harder than others *giggle* One might even say it's a heavy burden...

"We have a problem, people are copying our movies without paying, and litigating individual cases is such a bother"
"I know, lets sue The Internet!!"
*standing ovation*
There are two issues here.
Will it really change business for the companies who already give away their home use software for free - ie. the ones who make their money on business solutions? I doubt most businesses would be content with whatever MS offers up.
Second, will people trust MS, a company who makes wildly insecure software, to provide anti-virus software??

Will it somehow 'stack' with dedicated GPUs?

Notwithstanding, I am a "huge pirate" too :P
