Okay, this is really easy to figure out. Remember flipstart, that little Windows XP running computer (that coincidentally looks like this) and was using a Transmeta Crusoe processor? Well, it was going to be produced by noneother than Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures but never came about for some unknown reason. Probably because Crusoe was underpowered. Well, Microsoft then signs this deal with Transmeta last spring to use their Efficeon in a "secret" project. Efficeon is near the power of an Intel mobile processor but runs much cooler and with less power. Anyway, this deal with Transmeta (per recent disclosure) is near completion and will be announced this or next quarter. All the details between this origami rumor and the work order listed in Transmeta's 3rd quarter filing match up. This is going to be an XP running machine with great media center features and resembling the flipstartpc.com

Efficeon @90nm using LongRun2

It is going to be impressive.
