Dan, <it'd work fine for business too>

No way will Microsoft allow X-box to overlap business, or even home PC markets. They will want you to buy an X-box AND license copy of Windows for your home PC.

It will be interesting to see whether they can control the technology to that extent. Probably their approach will be to price the hardware low enough that no competitor can justify producing an X-box++ supporting Windows apps that would displace a home PC.
