Hate to let you down, LeRoy, but the "Winboard" was an April Fools Joke on the part of one of the regular contributors to /.. They cleared it up a couple of days later.

Also I have read that Microsoft and Intel are in the process of creating a windows mother board that will cost less than the current boards that are on the market. But the problem with these will be the same as the problem with win modems is that they will only be supported by Windows and put the cpu to harder work. Also Intel is in the process of making ``thin'' servers like the Corel Net Winder. Linux has had multiple IP addresses for the last 5 years. Are you telling me that it has taken them this long to catch on???
