I saw the specs of X-Box and laughed for more than an hour. I really wonder
when MS will come up with other kind of hardware then a PC. Still Intel CPU,
still Windows 2000 (for a game, do you believe it, you have to boot Windows
2000). Why should we need to boot an OS to play a game? A game should be
entertain us, not suffer us. I insert my sensible soccer floppy into my
Amiga and I start playing in less time than a Windows boot. So easy. Does
Amiga ask me for Amiga Workbench? No.
They are so blind that they will fail again. When too clever people work in
a company, that company fails.
