It wouldn't be a bad idea. If it notices that you buy computer components all the time, it can post ads about computer stores, etc. Maybe not quite a huge money maker, but it could be feasible.
Because Microsoft doesnt sell computer systems. PS3 will compete with XBox 360, Sony Vaio competes with... nothing microsoft makes. They wont totally boycott Microsoft, but putting a competitor's software product on their hardware product wouldnt be good for business. (Especially since MS could put in potentially damaging code, etc.)
I'm guessing that the performance boost will come more from not having 85 extra things running in the background that are on standard XP. This would free up bunches of RAM on an older system, giving it a big boost in performance.
The centralized server can possibly swap out programs that are not being used anymore and install the current one you are using on the HD.
So if they could provide an easy way to get rid of that overhead on this new OS, I'm sure they can do it in future SP's and releases.
