   I also read that you are going to need a new monitor that complies with some lisenced video otherwise the video will be blurry.You'd think with all these crazy requirements microsoft would be selling hardware too.

   Microsoft does sell hardware ! Although not monitors, not yet. One interesting thing is that Microsoft is trying to convince large scale PC manufacturers to stop using onboard video. That's a laugh for the office environment where spending the extra money on a video card is often not an option.[url]http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20050

   surely it's possible to simply design better onboard video?Failing that, Graphics card makers could have some lucrative deals with mobo makers where graphics cards are shipped with the mobos?

   Re-designing onboard video might mean driving up the cost. Intel's latest onboard GFX, the "Intel Extreme 2", is anything BUT extreme, and boards coupled with their onboard video already ask a higher price than normal.
