angkor wrote to us an article from The Register that looks at what Microsoft is planning for the X-Box Network. The factual information is educating on it's own - and the analysis of why they think it will fail is interesting as well.

We would have a consule with old games ported from other consules, programs made to mimic other consoles, and it would be the prefect low end DVD player with free software for changing channels, recording, and displaying UHF signals. It would have a small but rabid following of users that hate the other consoles, but in secret really want the respect that other consoles get from the world. Although it would have better software for core fuctions, it's playablity would suffer from poor graphics, and sad user friendlyness.
