True...but it has pretty much *everything* all in one package. And as I've
just spent weeks trying to sort out a particularly nasty virus infection
with a predilection for erasing bios code, I rather like the idea of a
read-only copy of the bios and OS built in at manufacture.
But the transmeta does have rather nice power handling capabilities.
