Tenchusatsu, Can you do word processing on an X-Box? Can you run Quicken or MS Money on X-Box? Can you even run any applications meant for the PC on an X-Box? I don't know. It depends on whether Microsoft disables this functionality, or leaves it there. Sony has big plans for the PS. Sony is not limited by any kind of segmentation schemes that limits MSFT and INTC. Sony has nothing to lose. Xbox is going to start with more flexible hardware, which includes hard disk, so the hardware capability is there. You are trying to compare apples to oranges here. Or do you plan on throwing out your PC once X-Box arrives? No I wouldn't. But there are many lower middle class and low income people who have PlayStations, who are a little intimidated by PCs and their pricetags. Joe
