    I am a software tester and I see some problems here. Changing hardware always, no matter how small the change, causes problems. They could get lucky and the problems may be easy to fix, but they may be out some launch titles if this causes problems for developers. I could see Microsoft losing their have the product out to market advantage being lost if all the good games are delayed due to this problem.

    Heh, after all the hubbub lately caused by Anandtech's article I thought for a sec that these new devkits might drop the IBM processor ... sigh.
