I think the requirement for being part of the PC hardware industry
is to have never heard of Amdahl, just like to be accepted into
the PC software industry you must never have heard of Brooks.

Seriously though - they know, they just don't care. The way to
make money moving lots and lots of little boxes is to make a 
machine that is complient with a small handfull of buzzwords,
and not spend a cent on anything else.
