>> There's nothing wrong with the appliance business model Do you mean that literally? There is daylight between "appliances shouldn't exist" and "there's nothing wrong with appliances."

There's no real defining line between GPCs and microcontrollers. I also don't think it's a problems if someone somewhere has a locked down PC. It is a problem if most people do.
