Intel plant Pentium III Portal proprietär


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Langsam wird klar, warum Intel aller Kritik zum Trotz an
seinen Plänen festhält, User anhand der Prozessornummer
zu identifizieren. Am anderen Ende der Welt laufen die ersten
Tests für ein proprietäres PIII-Portal gerade an.

INTEL is working with several Australian content providers to
establish Web sites that are not only optimised for PCs
based on the Pentium III processor but restricted to Pentium
III machines.

The program intends for each Web site to probe the PC and
use the chip's Processor Serial Number (PSN) to identify a
Pentium III client.

[...]

In both cases the common goal is to usher owners of a
Pentium III into special pages where content such as
streaming media, 3D interfaces and animation have been
peak-tuned to suit Intel's latest powerhouse processor.

At the heart of the program is Intel's own Web Outfitter site. It is from here that users will be able to download browser plug-ins that Intel has had optimised for the Pentium III platform, and then click on links to thi
rd-party sites that utilise those cutting-edge technologies.

"The basic premise is that if you have a Pentium III-based PC your Internet experience will be greatly enhanced," says Lo Certo.

[...]

But the Web Outfitter scheme is not designed to persuade
buyers to choose a machine with the Pentium III inside (just
as well, considering that behind the big blue door is strictly
"members only"). It is an after-sales benefit, designed to
increase that vital post-sale satisfaction and reinforce the
buyer's decision. "On our own site we're developing themes
on various issues, like a magazine," says Lo Certo. "We
want to broaden its appeal by making it a little bit like a long
periodical magazine that changes its theme once every
second month, and that theme is bought to life with added
information.
