On the NetPC - Pat thinks we are beinn slow to follow-up and get the
spec's out, and he is telling his guys to go ahead and start drafting.
They want to have a review for the industry i January. We need to engage
with them, and get ahead of them, and get the OEMs involved. I think we
should also get a few large account customers involved in order to get
some reality in discussions and (eg) get focus off $743 price point. I
guess the PC'98 guy is also their NetPC guy.

do you have a list of issues on this topic? we have a conference call
with them (intel) re NetPC today at 9, and pending your response we can
bring them up or try to stave off a little, but the latter isn't really
a good choice - we're running out of time, as everyone is painfully aware.
..
yup, it would be crazy to Intel define this
the only urgent issue I can think of is defining how it boots, if we let
Intel do this in a proprietary way we're screwed.
..
Note the flag below on the NetPC. we need to get cranking on this. I
know it is difficult to do a spec until the sw work is crisply defined
but having Intel draft this spec and take it to the industry will cause
up more headaches in the long run if we don't get out in front.
Thanks!
