Boy have the M$ haters turned out, in full force! lol.
Although I want to get my hands on Vista, I really don't care that Windows Vista has been delayed. Honestly, I'm happy with XP. It has been much more stable than Windows 98. Since 2001, no need to reformat. I don't find myself worrying over the lack of apps because it has everything I need, and it runs it great. and games =)
It almost makes you wanna feel sorry for how embarrassed M$ must feel over this recent slip...almost.
I wonder, will this be compatible with existing hardware? I have a Pentium-M on my laptop, it'd be nice to know if everything worked perfectly. I've been looking to replace Windows with a *nix alternative, but something more elegant than linux.
Unexpected move by apple. Could we see Pentium Ms in iMacs, Powerbooks? Pentium 4s in Powermacs? Celeron in iBook. This really changes the face of the company. I'm a PC user, but I would prefer apple stay with apple hardware. Its just part of who they are. I don't see any reason to dual boot OS X and Windows XP.
Does that seem kinda sad to anyone? Don't get me wrong, I'm 19 and I still play games once in awhile, but I don't plan on 'gaming' when I'm 30.
Who gives if Microsoft is marketing on MTV? If you're not an MTV fan, does this mean its not meant for you? Absolutely not. Even if you are a 30 year old nerd still playing video games, don't take offense from this. They will still come out with a TV spot for those of you veteran(old) gamers on GTechTV(or whatever the name of that now f*cked up station). You're not being lumped into this demographic. Microsoft knows that millions of kids watch MTV, so naturally you advertise to the largest audience. You would do the same if you were a company trying to make money. What's wrong with making money? I'm sorry to have to break this to you, but Microsoft did not make this console only for nerds. So stop with the elitist remarks about "I won't buy this product because its not marketed toward me" and decide whether to buy it if the product is good at all.
Are you going to get a new pc for longhorn?
Then get a Mac Mini after Tiger comes out.
I typically get new pc every 3-4 years. By the time longhorn is out and about, I'll have a new PC anyway.
A Mac mini will probably be around the same price of Longhorn pro.
LOL. Maybe.
Not happy with a Mac Mini because its not sophisticated enough to game one?
Run Linux on your current desktop. Use the latest KDE 3.4 with kompmgr, bask in eye-candy. Get Transgaming's Cedega, and run games like City of Hereos, World of Warcraft, and Half-life 2.
I don't like the Mac Mini for a couple of reasons. But first, its great how apple is finally going for lower prices. The Mac Mini in some ways is great. But the price is a bit misleading. For $499, I still need a keyboard, monitor, speakers, wifi, and upgrade the ram to 512.
I don't play many games, but why go through all the trouble of using cedega? I just wanna install and play.
If I really wanted, I'd rather get a G5 iMac or powermac if I had the cash to burn.
I may still consider a Mac in the future, but I don't see the need to change.
Why wait for longhorn. That future is already here now, with half the bugs, and at the same price, to boot.
I'm going to wait because I don't see a need to change/switch/convert. I'm not plagued by viruses, adware, trojans, or worms.
I don't really care if micro$oft ripped off features from Apple or anyone else. It doesn't affect me directly. It just shows that they liked how the other did it and they want to implement it in their software. Big deal. As long as I get a product that I like, that's good enough for me.
Yes, the screenshot looks like an iTunes rip. But I use iTunes on a windows on a machine and welcome apple's innovations.

Personally I liked the Xbox S-controllers(not that fat originals). They felt comfy in my hands. Dual shocks are nice too.
Not feelin the 360 or the pics of the new console. The black and green colors of xbox 1 looked fine (but it was a little big and heavy).

Do you mean tiger? If I had a Mac I would embrace Tiger, sure :) But I don't so...good things come to those who wait (maybe) lol.

If it were OS controlled, all we need is a virus/hacker to turn it off, maybe...
If the rumors are true and this puppy comes with 3 PowerPC 970 chips in it...for $600, hell yeah I'd buy it.
