I'd have to disagree a little bit. While music div said "we hate cd copiers!", hardware div said "16x, 20x, 24x, 32x...". Sony's hardware division is beginning to acknowledge the left hand's existence. For Example...
At the same time, "OpenMG Jukebox", a content compression, management, and playback technology installed in PCs, has been developed to restrict illegal copying of music content from CDs and the Internet. This application is pre-installed in VAIO and is compatible with Sony's portable audio players.
Furthermore, in May 2001, Sony announced "OpenMG Light", a digital rights management and distribution system for mobile products such as cellular phones and PHS phones. Sony also aims to energize the music download service market with "Net MD", a system which transfers music content from PCs to MD players through a high speed USB cable, while restricting illegal copying of music content.
Damn, and I wanted one of those computers too...oh well. Anyways, they're not as evil as MS, but they're coming pretty close.
lazygamer:
True, but the PS1 rocks the fucking house! :D
choasforages:
ummm, anything in the riaa is more evil the microsoft, sorry, but anyone that pushes for the dmca is on the same level as SATAN himself, microsoft is included, but members of the riaa take the evil 100 steps farther. so FUCK RIAA FUCK MPAA

They will NEVER release a Linux-based console, because Linux is bloated. I love the XBOX keep up the good work Microsoft
voidmain:
Looks like M$ has already released a Linux console. It's called the Xbox:
http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/
I don't believe the stories are true about M$ losing money on the sale of the Xbox itself but if it is true, I think it would be extremely funny and ironic if all of the Xboxes are swept off the shelves to build Linux super computer clusters, thus causing M$ to lose so much money they go out of business, or at least give up on the Xcrox.
