As the XBOX is basically a pc , and the games are all just direct X... is anyone working on a way to play these games on your pc , or is micorosoft going to release a version of direct x..etc... to allow this...
this would be a good thing for m$ to do , becuase it would grealy increase the number of games for the xbox , and a developer would be more lightly to develope if they can target the pc/x-box market with the same piece of software....
of course this would also help the pirates...but then again , what doesn't..
In my option in developing such a system , it may be better to start from scratch instead of using legacy windows code. (except for some of decoding and stuff).
Using left over windows code , will cause bugs, crashes and slowness.
I am sure Windows 2006 will require at least 20GHZ and 256GB of ram.
The requiments for software allways seem to expand to find the systems. If the same optimizion was down on windows software that was done on Z80 , then we would need systems this fast.
This could allow people to create full screen games from the dreamcase , using java.. as oppose to the cofusing systemed normally used to program for it.
Is it database stuff... web servers.. or just office use....
I am sure there is cheap solutions than windows for such an organization , no matter what whey need it for.. espically with microsofts new licencing system...
This is true... if suse , radhat and a few more can come together and create a distro as easy to install as Windows, and using Sax to configure X , then companys might start to use it more...
There will be massive saving for them.. and less copies of windows around (always a good thing)

5 gb is more than you would need for a good mp3 site
Will it connect to a pc?
As the XBOX is basically a pc , and the games are all just direct X ... is anyone working on a way to play these games on your pc , or is micorosoft going to release a version of direct x ..etc... to allow this...
this would be a good thing for m$ to do , becuase it would grealy increase the number of games for the xbox , and a developer would be more lightly to develope if they can target the pc/x-box market with the same piece of software....

In my option in developing such a system , it may be better to start from scratch instead of using legacy windows code. (except for some of decoding and stuff).
Using left over windows code , will cause bugs, crashes and slowness.
why would you need to ctrl+alt+delete.. you would only need to do with a crash...
I take it simular would be possible on Windows CE.
Also could this be used as a controler for a voice controled x11 system ?
I am sure Windows 2006 will require at least 20GHZ and 256GB of ram.
The requiments for software allways seem to expand to find the systems. If the same optimizion was down on windows software that was done on Z80 , then we would need systems this fast.

Isn't that fast enough to travel on a motorway/freeway......
also.. what if the police get you with a radar gun... can you get a speeding fine ?
Here is an arial view of the school... if its any use http://www.schoolsnet.com/cgi-bin/inetcgi/schoolsn et/scripts/school.jsp?OID=150616&Region=SE&LEA=Sou thend-on-Sea#
Nice to see at least one company isn't firing people these days..
thats copy and pasted from the media palyer setup... i am on 95..its not the same licence as i have for that ...
Tried it, says you need 98,me,2000..etc... to install this program...
typical
Any idea what uses they have ?
.. espically with microsofts new licencing system...
Is it database stuff... web servers.. or just office use....
I am sure there is cheap solutions than windows for such an organization , no matter what whey need it for
This is true... if suse , radhat and a few more can come together and create a distro as easy to install as Windows, and using Sax to configure X , then companys might start to use it more...

There will be massive saving for them
