define "what the HW is". Warning: the following list is purely fictitious. Any 
similarities between the companies or products mentiond, real or imaginary, 
are coincidental.

	- company A creates a cpu (only the IP) and license it to company N.
	- company N adds some more stuff around it (interfaces, gpu, ...) and 
creates real cpu hw.
	- company T likes the cpu and asks company C to build a computer around it
	- company C takes the evaluation board from company N, modifies it a bit, 
and builds a whole netbook around it
	- company T gets the netbook from company C and adds a operating system 
which will displeased their customers

So how would you define that hw? Or the real question, who made it? And please 
don't take my second argument too serious. I just expressed my anger in an 
improper way at an improper place. Sorry for that.
