I agree. Most of us that are prepping and maintaining desktops for a corporate environment are already using applications or that pretty much sum up a lot of the "new" features of Vista. Minus the Aeroglass junk, and it's mostly just XP with some new add-ons. I say it's a consumer OS entirely.
Haven't seen the commercial, but wow, that sounds just like my significant other. With both of us being parents, we do have to wait on kids to get out of class and numerous other time waiting activities.
I grew up on the Intellivision, TRS-80s, and of course the NES. My SO, (in her words) was never what you would consider a gamer of any system. Nothing more than playing the occasional game or two, whenever she was around others that were gaming.
Our kids are what I would consider to be hardcore gamers (time-wise), but guess who spends the most time with a DS???? That would be myself or my girlfriend, mostly when we have time to kill waiting on someone. She also still heavily uses the Palm Zire 72 that I purchased for her a few Christmases ago, mostly playing touch-screen based games. Go figure.
IMHO, Nintendo's role in spurring growth in the market, is probably based a lot on situations like mine where not only do the kids have DSes, but so do the two adults in the house. Currently, we have 4 DSes, soon to be adding a fifth unit for the youngest (will be 6 just before Christmas).
If you want my opinion on why the GBA SP did so well, it was probably based around the same idea that each home possibly has more than one unit. Ours has 5 of them!!!! In that sense, Nintendo has made more off of us with hardware sales than either Microsoft or Sony per console generation. It's funny I've really never thought of it that way, but that's what bean counters have surely planned for in their marketing plans for these portables.
Hey, if those cores were boobs, I'm almost positive you could pick up the chick with 4 teets (have over 2 and they're not considered boobies anymore, bub) a lot cheaper than scoring two racks of twins.
Nobody wants her, and you get to reap the rewards of extra mammary performance(or is that memory?)
I'm sure someone at AMD thought this up on poker night.
Intel obviously likes to keep things in pairs......like boobies, and AMD has decided to steer clear of grafting on another pair of mammary cores, er, glands.

Yes, you're right. So I will be overdosing on TECH and pron, not games. Still not a bad combination.
I'll be there as long as the AVN (Adult Video News) event is still held in the adjacent building.
What a weekend that'll be......more pron and games that most could handle. Whew

Think of it in terms of a hand of poker.
4 of a kind clearly beats 2 pair.............
