Scumbria:<<X-box games will likely be optimized for SSE, making AMD clones impossible>> SteveC:<If the gaming community becomes dependent on the X-Box and optimizes its best software for it, MSFT could one day take all their profit by charging licensing fees for the sale of each game.> A good point, Steve. DOJ will simply not allow M$ to optimize software for only their own hardware platform. That would be a clear example of using your monopoly position in one market (software, operating systems) to gain an advantage in a new market (hardware gaming consoles). Petz
