Will Xbox2 Be Backward Compatible?
An anonymous reader submits "In an interview on Wired News, Bob Wiederhold, President and CEO of Transitive Corporation said QuickTransit will allow the Xbox Next (aka Xbox2, which will have a PowerPC CPU) to run first-generation Xbox games which were written for an x86 Intel chip.
Transitive is a provider of software that enables transportability of applications across multiple processor and operating system pairs.
This could mean Microsoft will after all make their next generation consoles backward compatible, unlike what was announced in June." I can't quite tell how hypothetically he's speaking; the no-performance-hit OS switching the article talks about sounds pretty hard to believe.
You know what I hate most about the "XBox" ?
...
The NAME! Damn it... the amount of years I have refered to my X11 terminal's as a box that runs "X" ? I find it incredibly annoying that the name of their console has never been challenged. Dont get me wrong, M$ chose a good name for joe public it "sounds" good , but hell I will never send them my hard earned cash, I would much rather support a smaller monopoly (Sony) than spend my dollar making fat-boy M$ fatter (and in the process more abusive!)
Who do you want to trust today ?

Your girlfriend almost killed me last night, she doesn't like to swallow my cum, but when I could feel myself coming I put my hand on the back of her head and made her take the full load on her tonsils.
