Intel Graphics was NEVER designed to target this 1%, and I am very clear about it, if you want to play games , get a Discreet card, a 9400 is 48$ at Frys right now ... , but the rest of the people, the 99% don't really need more, as long as Windows is windows, and MAC OS is mac OS.
I am myself convinced that we will need more horse power on the GPU side, like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M3WrdDy_Dg , but there is along road before we get there. at the end of this interview, i tried to explain what I am talking about here http://www.bootdaily.com/index.php?o...1328&Itemid=51

Just remember, 99% of the people don't need much horse power yet, and we are working on making GFX horse power mainstream, it just take time. I hope this help you to understand the big picture.

Apparently it wasn't designed to run Vista Home Premium either. I'm sure you remember. You know, the case where you couldn't provide a solution capable of providing a premium experience, so you just coerced with MS to lower the standards. So while the other vendors worked, spent R&D, valuable resources and time providing a GPU that would, all Intel had to do was......nothing. You could have provided a GPU powered by hamsters and thanks to the monopoly, would have sold them. So don't even try to defend Intel's GPU decisions.
