I can't really comment on Ogg, since practically none of my files are ripped in that way. Most of my stuff is in 192kbps, anything below that and I can instantly tell.
I can hardly tell the difference between 192 and 256, and 320 isn't good enough for the size.
I much prefer listening to CDs though. I think neither MP3 nor Ogg can replace CDs.
BTW, Kenwood KRF-A4030 2x100W Amp, a pair of Bose 301, rated 75W, SB Live! 1024 and a Pioneer PD-5100 CD player.
Indeed. I have a 40GB 60GXP. No problems here. A mate of mine has a 30GB 75GXP, has had it for three months, not a single problem. Can't see what all the fuss is about, really.
Seriously, MS can do what ever the hell they want, the OEM's will still stuff it in their systems.
That's because the average home-user sees no huge difference between the various versions of Windows. ME is, visually, very similar to 2000, so the average user thinks that it is essentially the same OS. Now take a look at XP. It is, visually, very impressive. Ergo, the user thinks it is a very advanced version and decides that it is better.
The fact that MS still have that ridiculous pricetag on their OS's is to maximize what they can get from retail, most of the money they get from their OS's come from OEM's.
Slashdot Mirror
Erm... I'd just like to point out that this article wasn't on Slashdot, it was just posted there, in case you hadn't noticed.
Maybe you should start finding other sources of information, Slashdot tends to be somewhat slow to report hardware/games related stuff.
"Arguably, the X-box is already demonstrating its Heritage."
And how is that, I might ask? I haven't seen anyone reporting that their Xboxes are crashing or anything.

Anand will be running a comparative article on the GameCube. Don't worry, all systems will be compensated for.
Douglas Adams, without a doubt.
And Asimov as well, obviously.
Yeah, I've heard of that effect in the ionosphere. Do you know what it's called?
