Clearer Signs of Intel's Post-PC Future
June 24, 2009
Intel Wins Nokia as Customer, Will Work on Devices (Update2) | www.bloomberg.com
Intel's tie-up with Nokia is more evidence, as if any was required, that the future is not with PCs. Intel has tried many times, and mostly failed, to penetrate this very large market. Only two percent (2%) of microprocessor chips are used in PCs; the other 98% is a market Intel has largely ignored. Having missed out on cell phones, Intel is now gunning for the next tier: portable Interned devices, a segment that has many names. It's a fair target, and Intel has a decent shot at making a dent there.

Growth Is No Longer in PCs, It's In Embedded Systems
June 5, 2009
Intel Gets Deep Into Software | online.wsj.com
Intel's acquisition of embedded-software vendor Wind River Systems (WRS) outlines today's reality for the company: the growth is no longer in PCs, it's in so-called "embedded" systems, or computers that don't look like computers. Only two percent (2%) of the world's microprocessor chips go into PCs. The other 98% are used in these embedded sytems, such as cars, TVs, games, HVAC, appliances, aircraft, etc. It's not a glamorous market, but it's a huge one. With PC sales leveling off, Intel needs to look elsewhere for growth, even if it antagonizes long-time partner Microsoft. (Microsoft has its own embedded-software strategy.) With Moblin and now WRS, Intel has stepped firmly into the embedded-systems marketplace.

Good move for the netbook market
June 1, 2009
Microsoft to Drop Three-Application Limit of Windows 7 Starter | www.bloomberg.com
Good work, Microsoft. This change makes Windows 7 more palatable for the fast-growing "netbook" market, where Windows was previously overpriced. * PC buyers show a strong preferance for Windows, they just don't want ot pay for it. * Intel, Linux vendors, and others are actively developing Windows alternatives * By dropping this restriction on Windows 7 Starter, Microsoft stays in the game.

Intel needs to sell processors any way it can
June 1, 2009
Intel goes after Windows 7 on netbooks with Linux | www.computerworld.com
* Netbooks have upset the apple cart for both Intel and Microsoft, so old alliances are starting to crumble. * To remain relevant, Intel has developed its own low-cost alternative to Windows, hoping to cling to the hardware-side of the equation. * It won't help much, as most netbook buyers want the Windows experience more than they want Intel hardware.
