Wow! Intel's run by a bunch of socialists too!

Looks like even if I remove all traces of any OS there's still a communist in my box. Darn.

The chain of links from this article is fascinating.
Microsoft claims 40 million copies of VISTA have been distributed, but no clue how many of those are "bundled" with new computers, and how many were sold by people consciously wanting the damned thing.

The resource hogging of VISTA and and its protected content overhead is hardly ever discussed any more, either.

What's happening?

Intel feels that being locked in to essentially serving only the Windows market, limits them in terms of number of chips sold.

Therefore they are helping to grow the market in a way that expands the need for their chips. BTW Centric CRM is not a bad product, though a little clunky, which is typical of many Java-based server apps.
