David, Re: You assume that MSFT will be selling huge quantities of X-boxes. Given MSFT's record outside of the traditional desktop, that is an assumption without merit. Alos, remember that Win2K was supposed to be driving chip sales right now The W2K will drive sales not now but more like 2H01 when it will be time for corporations to upgrade their systems bought in 99 for the Y2K fear. And for X-box, let's wait for version 3 of it :-) gary

Have you seen the Xbox demo, or specs? Be careful.

Tom's Hardwaew on XBox: Yahoo! I got to play on the Microsoft Xbox. I have also played several games on the PlayStation 2, and, unless there is a cataclysm that forces the Xbox to die or to at least be delayed for years, the PS2 is going to be struck by a supersonic bulldozer. No offense to PS2 owners, but the Xbox is simply an awesome gaming system. Not only does it greatly exceed the PS2 in hardware muscle, but, through DirectX, the Xbox makes it much easier to tap into this power as well. DirectX has the added advantage of making it almost effortless to port games to and from with the PC - this alone will ensure a large software library at launch. www4.tomshardware.com
