Having a "PC Class" OS in TV helps tremendously since you can do away with: 1. Media Player / HTPC 2. Set top Box for digital cable 3. Attach a Webcam for Skype etc There is a sister concern of Zenith computers (VU technologies). That firm sells such TVs, these have a motherboard in addition to TV boards and you can customize CPU/RAM/HDD configuration. CPU is X86 and has a decent GPU too. If mainstream barands such as Samsung/LG start doing that, this can catch on. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
