My original statement was pointed at the people who hate all of Microsoft's products just because...Who cares if Microsoft wants to jump into another part of the technology industry. The XBOX is a good console, and it is quite ignorant to hate it, just because it is made by Microsoft. If you have a legitimate problem with the XBOX, fine. But the best way to show dissaproval of a product, is to leave it on the shelves, not to post, "microsoft sucks...die microsoft...". This also applies to OS's...hence the post about operating systems.
I have only been coming for about a week, but I am distraught that I have not been blessed with your company sooner.
Yes I do work in the IT insustry. And my network includes both Windows and Unix Products. You are talking out your butt if you say that there is only one type of OS that should be used. (goes both ways...) Every single OS out there has it's place.
No one has ever been able to say how MS is a monopoly. They don't put out a single product which isn't manufactured by another company somewhere else. What it boiles down to, in every article that you read is the inability to remove internet explorer from a windows install... woopdie doo....
People do want MS to fail at everything...although i think it is based on jealousy.
If you don't want Ms to "control" your life...then don't buy their stuff. There are plenty of other options out there for every product that MS puts out.
But just wishing for a company to fail is bad form. If they put out a good product (i personally like the XBOX) then it deserves to prevail. Remember everone was saying the same thing about the Playstation when it came out. "Sony makes cd players...not video games" and look where the PS1 went.
If you don't like microsoft. Fine. Play your playstation 2, install linux on your pc, Download star office, and mind your own business.
I think it is a good idea...
There isn't much of a market for internet PC games (not a market for making money off of playing them online)
I think it is cool that it is broadband only...you won't have any dial up users bringing lag into the game...

The ethernet adapter is already built into the xbox... Have you ever touched an XBOX?
