A waste, but.
$150ish for XP now right?

$250
$250 for a new, stripped down computer, allthough, an hour with a screwdriver, you come out with a faster processor and all the CD drives and other stuff you take from the old computer.
If I recall coretly, the new XBox is pretty much one of Microsoft's "Media Center PC"s that can play XBox games.
I don't see the point in that, gamers want to play games, and not have to deal with everything else. An occasional CD or DVD is fine, but, I'm guessing they'll put in connection to your PC for photo shows and such, which in my mind, would be a turn off, and annoyance for gamers.

That is so screwed up it's not even funny. REPEAT Sex Offenders don't get landed in prison for life even, and yet they want to kill hackers.
