But to get back to the subject that was posted.. I personally hate the Xbox it is nothing Innovating.. I mean its just a IBM PC just with a stripped optimized Win2k OS and using DirectX as its graphics library.. Just customized since it knows what hardware is in the system.. Nothing like PC world.. All the games could easily be ported to Windows for people to play on PC.. but M$ don't want that because then there is no reason to buy an Xbox..
What i do love about Xbox is making a cheap PC so that i can hook it up to my tv to watch movies.. Play emulators out there and such.. I had planned on buildiing such a computer with a MiniATX case and some small processors just to do the job but of course i couldn't do it as cheap as just buying a Xbox especially at $179.. So thats what i love about the Xbox.. Nothing about there games or anything of that nature..
Also M$ is the only company that can keep a system out for a few years and never turn a Profit in it and still think they can win the market.. Last time i read they lost 300million in the Home Entertainment section.. Wonder how much they lost now since Modding is getting more and more popular..
