Great points Tracy. It's always amazed me to see OEMs who use x86 platforms as a component in their product default to the commercial motherboards and PC's when they decide to use that platform as an engine. All your points are such key critical needs. This is particularly true for the long life piece where commercial boards might have a life of 6 months and rev a bios 2x in the life!
