Microsoft's Tray And Play Unveiled

Gamespot has a look at Microsoft's upcoming plans for PC gaming. In addition to a definite gaming perspective for the Longhorn OS and a commitment to the XNA studios package, they have word that someday we may be loading PC games much like console games. From the article: "Tray and Play is exactly what it sounds like - dropping a game disc into an optical drive and loading it up immediately, rather than having to install it to a hard drive. True to form, the game itself cut straight to a start-up screen in less than a minute (including the game's own built-in load time)."

    First I would like to see Microsoft deliver, and then I when they don't it won't be much of a surprise. They should stick with what they now, to bad that is nothing. Best wishes you want-to-be magicians. Take on a task you can accomplish, maybe develop a solid OS.
