Didn't Pouslbo and friends have negative prices ("contra-revenue") yet still nobody wanted them?

For those who, like me, never heard of Poulsbo, it's a chipset for Intel's first generation of Atom processors.

Poulsbo was disastrously bad, quirky, and impractical.

It took all x86 platform warts, and replaced it with even harder to get right "Poulsbo warts" like SFI, and etc.
