Although I prefer Linux as an OS, not everything MS makes is bad. Their console will probably kick ass and having JohnC on the team can only make it better. Besides that, Nvidia designs de GPU (and they are known for their high quality OpenGL drivers) and JohnC already said that he would stick to OpenGL. So if MS is smart they will also implement OpenGL in the Xbox to make shure all the Id-3D-engines based games are easely ported.
Leave technology to engineers and science to scientists! Internet and all related technologies are too often being misused by people who want to look intelligent. If they loose money because of this than:-))
