    Every time there is a post concerning the XBox, there are always people who say "Xbox is just a PC", which isn't true. Other such quotes include "Since Microsoft sells the XBox at a loss, let's all buy XBoxes and no games, that'll show em!", which is stupid, since NOT buying XBox will hurt more. What do you think Microsoft is going to tell developers: "Well damn, we have just lost a billion dollars to evil Linux-hax0rs" or "XBox is the most popular console ever, we have sold a gazillion XBoxes, so there is a huge market out there."

    And why the hell do people want to buy an XBox to use as an SNES emulator, go to a flea market or a garage sale an BUY A DAMN SNES! It'll propably cost something like $5. "Yeah but I can't download pirate roms off the net and play them on a real console" Well boo hoo hoo, just use a laptop or your desktop computer, and when you're done playing, you can use it to do some work if you want. I personally am not going to buy an XBox, because I too am a Microsoft "hating" geek, but at least I don't seem to be as stupid as most...
