To me the Xbox smells like an attempt by Microsoft to further promote the windows platform. If they sell the Xbox as a loss leader, it is going to become very popular, and it will woo developers who will like the idea of the portability between Xbox and windows pc. coupled with this is that the Xbox is 'broadband ready' -even if your telco is not. Again MS could potential dominate the hybrid console platform. God only knows what marketing scams they will ocme up with. Free windows OS with every Xbox? Money of Windows? Or some combination therof. All this said, I'll be first in the queue to buy one. Nothing like integrity!
I bet that napkin came in hand later on that night

All this seems pretty irrelivent. Given the reaction of the movie people to dvd and the lawsuits flying around, I can't see the studio executives being too keen on realeasing their latest $100 movie to people to view via the Internet.

I dunno. I think it would be a great way of getting rid of those annoying door to door salesmen
Well..what can I say, since installing xfree 4.0, my kernel dumps more than a fat man on an eating binge!
