I say this because it basically has become that for the low end CPUs, and they are helping build motherboards that underclock when the CPU is below a certain usage. Also, they are helping these motherboard manufacturers build boards that are more HTPC friendly, built in HDMI (already there), proper audio outputs, and even talks of onboard storage to run OS/video playback programs.
A persistent Linux install on a thumb drive is always somewhat viable, but something that can read/write faster (USB3.0 wru?!) would be optimal...

Exactly, but a Linux distro might be a bit "confusing" or "difficult" for the average user who just wants to plug in a HTPC and be able to watch movies. I think the idea they are working towards is something along the lines where basically buy a HTPC and are 100% ready to go, ability to play all movies/music. This way the OS stays clean but can be used as a computer as well, but everything will be stored on a normal hard drive as the motherboard setup will not be writeable (other than Windows update). This idea is a ways away as it will take all sides in on it.
