Some people, especially gamers, have them; but those of us who use the built-in graphics chips on our motherboards (which are perfectly adequate for the video and other media I consume on the 'Net) were locked out of participation. It would be a lot better marketing opportunity (not that I'm seriously looking for more ads in my life), if the 'great unwashed' could participate.
