Charles, I think the software developers are the key here. remember Sony has them in a straight jacket with kickbacks etc(license fees). Now will MSFT follow that model? or will they let anyone make games for the xbox and keep their profits...or will they have a similar fee structure to Sony? Since there will not be a lot of box profit they may do it. There are also more experienced programmers for the x86 and so we can expect more providers of games and other programs. MSFT might live on their own games and let others freely make software for the xbox? I am not sure of that...but if they do they will soon overhaul Sony...as long as the box works fast and well. One wonders how they will strip down Win2k to make it beat a dedicated optimised one trick cowboy like the Sony PS2? Bill
