Microsoft HomeStation - Son Of XBox Revealed

Posted by timothy on from the what-the-future-holds dept.

An unnamed reader contributes this link: "PC Formathave story about Microsoft's follow up to the XBox. Rumor is it's a home entertainment centre called HomeStation. It'll offer video and TV on demand, and act as an internet gateway for internet appliances. Profiling is mentioned. The story makes an interesting point about how the XBox's true purpose is to pave the way for Microsoft as a home entertainment brand."

    Side-note: Looking at the latest trolls that have been posted here, suggesting that there have been filters implemented on /. , I personally do get the idea that there's more going on behind the scenes than just some technical problems.

    If so, I don't think it would be a very good idea to publicise this, forseeing what kind of reactions that would cause.

    But again, this is pure speculation from my side.

    What is going on with /.? This is the first time I've been able to log in for the last 24 hours.

    Tell me about it... for a long while, no matter what page I clicked on, I got the default /. home page. I could not log in either.

    And what the hell is up with hiding status reports in unrelated article threads?

    Eh, it'll all get ironed out sooner or later...
