A SmartTV/InternetTV guy at a local CE store assured me that I could get
everything I want (including Telnetting into Outlook remotely) with WiDi and
Chrome on a new flat panel TV CE platform...(except for use of my STB/PVR where
I would have to switch the TV to HDMI input and still have the cable remote).
Sigh. Not quite there yet.

And to extend that question, assuming the answer is yes, why the %#$@ do the
CE companies think they must be playing this game? How and why do CE
companies benefit from the annoying habits of an orthogonal industry?
