How IBM Out-foxed Intel With The Xbox 360

xcaverx writes "Learning from failure is a hallmark of the technology business. Nick Baker, a 37-year-old system architect at Microsoft, knows that well. A British transplant at the software giant's Silicon Valley campus, he went from failed project to failed project in his career. He worked on such dogs as Apple Computer's defunct video card business, 3DO's failed game consoles, a chip startup that screwed up a deal with Nintendo, the never successful WebTV and Microsoft's canceled Ultimate TV satellite TV recorder. But Baker finally has a hot seller with the Xbox 360, Microsoft's video game console launched worldwide last holiday season."

Outfoxed?

IBM didn't outfox intel - by courting Microsoft, the lost Apple.

Apple may not count for a huge amount in sales, but the amount of hype Apple fan's created for PPC is worth more money then IBM has ;-)

Any excuse for being an idiot, eh Whiny? Do us a favor and die. We won't miss one more Mac fag.

1) You mispelt my name.

2) There is a similar percantage of homosexuals across all aspects of society, including computer users - *blows gulogulo a kiss*.

3) Try to stay on topic & stop being such a little troll.

Speaking of failure..
