: Why is everyone so anti-miscrosoft. They're just like the old at&t... They were evil farts, but without them they're wouldn't be a phone system. M$ is evil, but they single handly brought pc's to the masses by making ibm clones run the same software as their expensive brothers.

: You may not always like their ways, but show a little bit of respect.


I just finished Halo (got the Xbox on 11/15). If MS can get developers to keep cranking out games like this one, they will OWN the market. All this crap about it being a "PC in a box" would be a good thing, even if it were true (which it isn't completely). I just spent half of my Xmas day trying to get games given as gifts to run on my father's and sister's computer, without much luck on either (needed new hardware, etc...) MS has standardized a computer system that is optimized to play games and it does it to a tee. Now if we could just get MAME ported over and optimized for the Xbox, it would be a great solution for a dedicated Arcade machine, plus play the latest and greatest titles.

You have to respect what the MS is doing with the Xbox. If Sony didn't have any competition (and the Cube is no competion IMHO) we would be suffering through a few more years of shovelware like the PS1 has been offering. MS has raised the bar and it only benefits us, the gamers.
