Iirc, Microsoft has yet to fully, or even partially disclsoe their IP holdings in regards to open source. Merely threatening with.. something. I also tend to wonder what Eolas claims regarding IE activeX controls has to do with open source vendors.
Since Google essentially reads for the sake of ad context and to provide you with relevant information I'd say it's a positive over the Microsoft/etc competition. I'd much rather see content tailored to me than some bulk crap hurled at the masses with the hopes they might get lucky.
I don't know why the price is seemingly so out there. I blew way more than both of those models getting my 360 going. The only ones I could get ahold of at launch were the basic models. Add a harddrive, memory card, etc. Anyway, to get the xbox 360 I purchased to play original xbox games, and play on live it cost around $700 give, or take. To be honest, I still would consider not only the 360, but the PS3 as well to be a good deal. When I take into account what the PS3 can do, and compare that to the PC I use for gaming. Then compare the price I paid for the PC, ($1400, or so), and the PS3. I find that I'd rather pay the $500-$700 for a console than $1400 on a box to play games on.
Will Vista come with a full range of networking/serving solutions? It would be nice to be able to employ a full range of services from one vista machine running just that, Vista. What I'm wondering is, can I expect to employ proxies, rule based firewalls, dns, and dhcp services just to name a few with future Microsoft software without having to purchase loads of software just to run what many other operating systems come with stock. Also, will ctcp be backwards compatible? What improvements can we expect to see from it? How will it effect network operation in a multi-os environment?
-AKA is this another trip down the path of NETBIOS?

If unmanned weapons of death are controlled by a cute penguin... then I have to wonder what sinister plots the daemon might have in store?
Perhaps even the BFG9000, not sure what a BFG2000 is.
