Jim> I'll place my bet on Microsoft when it comes to games... I admit MSFT is good at playing games, just ask any of the competitors, but Sony IS KING and MSFT knows it and WILL LOSE! MSFT doesn't know how to compete, it only knows how to buy out it's competitors. MSFT hasn't had an original thought in decades. Don

Jim, Microsoft is in the software business, Sony in the entertainment and electronics business. I'll place my bet on Microsoft when it comes to games... Interesting conclusion, since the market Microsoft will be competing in with the X-box will be the entertainment and electronics business (go visit the Consumer Electronics Show to see where the new gaming systems are being presented). Sony has spent a number of years understanding and gaining control of this market. The software model doesn't help here.
