I tend to think that Cnet knows what is going on. They have good sources. I'm sure they were very confident before posting. Everyone else is just repeating everyone else. If there is an over-reaction tomorrow morning, I'm definitely loading up. I was going to try to buy more tomorrow below $60. Now, I should be able to get it below $50. Gates said that the Xbox is a 2H, 2001 product. This changes nothing concerning AMD's prospects for the next year. Pravin.

There's a certain time warpage here. Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates officially announced the existence of the long-rumored Xbox gaming console in a televised news feed released Friday afternoon. It was released tomorrow? Scheduled for release in the fall of 2001, the console will be supported by a number of video and computer game developers and boast performance greater than any previous game system. Considering that it's supposed to have a new (not Win9x, not WinCE) but "compatible" OS from Microsoft, that rather distant launch date seems a bit, er, speculative as is. From the cnet article: Microsoft's game console will be built with the same hardware that goes into PCs, but may contain a new operating system that is compatible with, but different from, current Microsoft operating systems, sources said. As one developer close to the X-Box project said, "it won't be Windows CE and it won't be Windows 98." Well, the way the markets work these days, I'm sure it'll be good for a pop for somebody, but again, it's a long way off. Cheers, Dan.
