But without the GPU (and I'm not sure how geforce 7xxx driver support looks now) even 720p videos might get problematic, some becoming pretty much a slideshow, some being just slightly uncomfortable when going around 20 fps. I know they do on my 2007 macbook.

The problem is that the general use case doesn't have a media center pc from 2007, "A significant portion" of consumer hardware is EXCUSIVELY for web browsing and word processing. Sources: every single relative I have except for my father who uses trading software to watch stocks, only use a combination of word (if I haven't touched their boxes), libre office (if I have), ie (if I haven't) or firefox (if I have). Those two cases cover 90% of pc use, maybe some photo browsing, but none of them watch video on a general purpose pc. (yet). Netflix probably changes that.
