The FAQ says that only the 64-bits versions of Whistler will require GPT to boot from, 32-bits versions of Whistler will use the normal MBR.
(Qoute)
15. Can the 32-bit version of Windows Whistler read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
No. The 32-bit version will see only the Protective MBR. The EE partition will not be mounted or otherwise exposed to application software.

Well, duh!
The XBox uses PC's hardware, that is known for like... forever?
It has a kick-ass graphic chip (modified GeForce-3) plenty of RAM & a good CPU.
At the moment, there is a lot of stuff that don't exist yet, UMA, frex, which need to be emulated.
Since you are impressed with MS' Knowledge Base(Correctly, I would say). Why not explore the offers from MS itself?
http://www.microsoft.com/business/km/default.asp Is a place to start.

You already get all of WinCE source code if you purchase the development tools from MS.
Shouldn't be a trouble to build a MacOS/Linux syncronizer from it.
DOS is a single task, single user OS.
It's capabilities are mainly file I/O.
Yes, there might be places where you want that. They are far and few between.
The Bismarc had a sister ship, called Tirphich(sp?).
IIRC, one of them was drowned in its very first trip (took a couple of english ships as well, including the flag ship, Hood, or something like that). The other never got to the open sea, and was drown by UK Air Force.
Did a good job of keeping large parts of the English navy busy, though.

It's not that you can't get rich, it's that you can't get any profit at all.
I agree fully about this.
You can't profit from trying to sell GPL software.
.com has been good for linux, I think. It allowed people to ignore "where would the money come from? type of questions, and gave GPL software a very big push.
Now they need to find new ways to make money. I just hope they don't decide to listen to the "MAKE MONEY FAST" emails that they get:-D
Okay, first, your killer app would've to be something *really* fancy, for MS to steal it.
Since I can't think of much (or anything, for that matter) that MS can't develop internally.
Second, there are always hexing the application to find out if it used the same algorithms as you.
Third, MS forbid its employees to view GPL code.

Put "in time" there, and you are correct.
Take linux, for example.
It has the advantage of about 30 years of OS research.
It has couple of thousands conrtributers on for kernel alone.
Tens to hundreds of thousands contributers for the rest of it.
How long did it take Linux to become as usable as a commercial software? (Solaris, AIX, etc)?
About 7 - 8 years, isn't it?
How long do you think it would take a bussiness to write something comparable? Much less.
Sure, OSS can do wonderful things, but it does them slowly.
Take Mozilla's case for an example.
Where else, do you think, a browser would include everything except a kitchen sink, *before* first version was on the market?
Slashdot Mirror
Take a look at HKCR\CLSID, and see how many GUID you have there.
Where did you hear and NMD and dual booting? What is the reason for this?
> the "MICROS~1" problem with long/extended character file names
This had to do with the hacked up nature of FAT, not with MBR.
Oh, sure. We *know* that in order to run OfficeXP we need to run Whistler on Itanium.
Oh, that is GPT. Oh, well...
Non of the above OS will run on Itanium, *anyway*, you know!
When did you CD Player had to run external programs? What about your microwave?

The hardware might have been finalized, but NVidia isn't fabbing the chips yet.
And UMA is currently being emulated.

Sure, I've nothing to do all day but to code all those L\GPL libraries and code that I need for my product.
See RIPEM case for details.

If so, I would be worried about round two.
