Oh yes, I'm the "poor fuck" with the two products, and you're the "poor fuck" who has to be anonymous. Yes, these may be perceived as two failed attempts, but you have to admit that MS has used the Xbox as more than just a gamming system. They also used it as a Trojan to enter into the living room.

I'm sure this has a lot to do with Microsoft trying to bring the PC into the living room also. The 2005 Media Center OS and xbox (with extender) are a great starting combination for Microsoft to try and bring their monopoly into the living rooms instead of just the computer room. The next xbox will connect directly to XP Media Center out of the box, and will bring Microsoft that much closer to not just owning your PC, but your TV also. The all-in-one PC/TV/Tivo/Radio/MP3/Music/DVD/Movie/Game/Monopoly box.
