Maybe if they got rid of ads, i'd be mildly interested. Since i know there will be ads, i'm not interested at all. Intel should do themselves and consumers a favour. Kill the idea before it costs them any more money. I don’t watch tv or listen to commercial radio because the ads shit me to tears. Maybe if they got rid of ads, i’d be mildly interested.

A home-built Linux based system with a DVD burner will ensure that I can view the content I would like to see on my own terms and will give me the option of adding more features at a later time. And yes, I can get that in a WiFi version if i so choose. My system may be more costly to build, but it will save me money in the long term because I can choose where i want to get my files from.
