    If a significant percentage of the Slashdot readership is willing to buy an X-box for the sake of a Linux hack... maybe Microsoft finally found a way to make money out of this "Free Software" thingie...

    A: "Its a Game Machine."
    B: "Its a Digital Recorder."
    A: "Game Machine!"
    B: "Digital Recorder!!!"
