No, until you design it from scratch and push the envelope of what is possible before anyone else has done it, you aren't doing it like Steve, you are just copying his work.
Well, so does ( did ) MIPS. And SPARC. and Power. Each has its advantages over the old x86, but x86 has one advantage that trumps most : 20 years of a code base as the mainstream.
( myself i still prefer MIPS, but good luck finding something that runs it, or something to run ON it.
Sounds like the left hand isn't taking to the right hand in their corporate headquarters. ( or the market guys, since its hard to sell designed in defects as features )
Of course, even if it gets that bad, I suspect it'd be defeated with something like duct tape..
And then the box detects its 'blind' and refuses to run your movie, or worse, calls the MPAA for a violation of terms, and perhaps some 'circumvention prevention law' they will have bought by then, bringing down the black van onto your home..
Seriously tho, Microsoft isn't going anywhere as a company. Even if you took the desktop market totally away from them ( which wont happen ) there is still the server and app space.
Seriously tho, i agree with intel. If you are going for that size, might as well step up the horsepower to run more apps locally and just call it a notebook.
Back in the early 90's personal computers in business were "new fangled shiny objects" and here to save the day. People didn't understand them, or what impact they would have, but they wanted one and needed a team of 'strange people' to babysit the horribly expensive little devices.
Today, they are 'toasters'. Simple appliances that help you get work done, and when they break, you get another. The are no longer the end all to be all, and many even make their own toast now, a causality of self efficiency in the industry while we are working ourselves out of a job, in some cases.
Normally, when a company goes into bankruptcy, the assets are liquidated and the bondholders/etc get to split the cash. Sure there might not be much left to spread around, but its part of the process.
That didn't happen here, and i say it wasn't a true bankruptcy. Nor was Chryslers, with their assets being given to a foreign entity...
Why couldn't they do the migration for the users? Other data providers would do that in the event of a data center move.. Sure might be some downtime, but its not put on the user to figure out what to do to keep their business alive..

Yet another marketing term? Someone really needs to restrain the marketing guys.
... Modeling clay with wires stuck in it will not explode.
But they do it all the time on stargate..
Sounds racist to me. Pull their funding.
( yes, that was sarcasm )
Problem solved. ( at least the mechanics, sounds like a revolution is needed to get to root of the problem )
Bingo.
Besides, lots of smaller companies do it this way, and even if it was in house, you are still at the same risk.
Some *AA exec is wetting his pants, but the public WILL NOT put up with this.
This kind of intrusion is a revolution just waiting to happen, sheeple or not.
I wish i had the confidence in the American public that you do. Im afraid most will just accept it and bend over.
FORTH.
Just standardize on *one* dialect, add some distributed networking/processing words and be done.
Isn't that what their media branch thrives on?

So don't plug it in. Toss the damned thing in the trash.
Isn't that a DVD?
I figured it would be free. It would be connecting to their 'cloud' that will cost $, either directly via payments or indirectly via advertisements.
I thought Vista did that? :)

While im sure others will say the same thing:

Will anyone even know its there, or care?
Yes, i know that, and you do, but did they manage to insert the money in there?
Were they loans, or grants that Tesla got?
Is porno?
Umm okie.

And since when does the federal government own up to things?

Was this 'profit' including the money they got from the Feds?

Most people are under the impression that Ubuntu is a free OS, not an Ad Sponsored/Data mining revenue oriented OS.
Well, that is how they present themselves, so you shouldn't expect to be blind-sided like that.
