And what you're going to see in the marketplace is just sort of this
price comparison, and Intel and Nvidia are just going to drive the prices to each other, and only one of them can really afford the battle.
But that doesn't change the value proposition for consumers, which is what they really want is to not have that backward compatibility.
They just don't know it.
If they got a PC without a fan that you couldn't edit the registry, you couldn't break it, you couldn't just go into the system folder and delete stuff, all of these things that you don't even think about on a Mac anymore and you don't even think about, you can't even think about on a phone, you don't want them on the PC.
And so it's tough for me to see Microsoft sort of embracing this idea
Because, I mean, I understand, like, if you want to sell the enterprise, you have to run that VB app from 2003.
But that's not, you don't need to do that.
You could just put it on a server and remote into it.
You could put it in a VM on an x86 machine.
There's a million ways to do that.
You just don't need to run it on the machine that you want to run your agents on.
And in the short term, everybody is going to be running terminal anyway.
And these agents in today's agents are all headless anyway.
That will change too.
But right now, that's the big... We hit this fork in the road, and Microsoft has already said the direction that they want to take it, which is they just want NVIDIA chips to do all the things that Windows has always done, which always tests well with customers.
Until you say, the customer's like, yeah, but those registry editors and admin scripts and stuff really screwed us up.
And like, we know, we know this.
So it's tough for me to see.
Yeah.
