I think there's a point where thoughtful skepticism and criticism turn 
into plain negativity.  I'm not saying you reached it, but I don't know 
what you're trying to achieve with these kinds of comments either.  If 
it's to warn people that every OEM on the planet has bad intentions or 
is weak and bought by Big Bad Corp, I think they kind of got that from 
earlier posts.  In any case, I'd be happy to talk about all this in a 
year or two, when we'll have more information than speculations.

(Don't worry I'm not offended or anything, I'm just saying we don't know 
jack yet.)
