All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Hardware
Xbox... just a test?
PlumClock:
I dunno I have this theory that Xbox is nothing but a hardware test for Microsoft. If they can waltz in to the console industry and overthrow Sony and Nintendo (It's happenning) they've just proven to themselves that they can handle hardware.
The success of Xbox = Microsoft getting into computer hardware? Are we going to see full blown Microsoft computers?
Why can't Osama bomb them or somethin... they are killing my precious Nintendo.
Master of Reality:
this should be in the hardware forum.... moving
KernelPanic:
No because Xbox = wintel.
Wintel is the PC duopoly.
MS and Intel are happy as it is, there will be no change.
And what gives you the idea that MS actually had to do much hardware work for the Xbox, its main parts are all PC stuff.
Kintaro:
I think they will but i have a fund going, a group of 12 people 10 dont know how too turn computers on and one day near we are going to goto redmond and weld the bonnets shut on all the cars we see at the MS HQ!
HPC GUY:
no way. xbox is hardly killing nintendo. First of all their hardware is different. Nintendo and PS2 have str8 dedicated hardware where xbox hardware is pc stuff which is used for multitasking, therefore alot of power goes to waste. 2nd xbox is make the same mistake sega did by having weak 3rd party support.
