Joe, I agree it's been a poorly kept secret. I am just looking forward to seeing what the actual specs are, since we've heard a lot of speculation about the hardware.

Hello Jozef,

I have no link, but... IMHO expect the XBox to be a product that can be bought in the retail market this year. We've heard rumors of the XBox since late summer '99. I suspect the XBox was in the works months befor that. That leaves about 18 months to bring the product to market. That's more than enough time for M$FT's with its deep and $$$ to accelerate development of this product.

Jerry Sanders may well have been showing Bill Gates Athlon 700 MHz processors as early as March '99!

Kindest regards,
CrazyMan
