Although we are talking enterprise level marketing, mass production, and Intel clout (which can be awfully stubborn if they wanna dump money into it). The enterprise crowd is generally corporate and criminally conservative, resistant to change yet compelled to streamline their formula for success ... so who knows, eh?
