[citation][nom]Godfail[/nom]Smart? Try inevitable - this happens to just about every console out there towards the last couple of years of its lifespan.As for other Microsoft divisions, Hyper-V is no joke for only having been out for less than 3 years. OCS is shaping up to be the next big product, I'd expect a lot of work going into the UC/UM division.[/citation]
You're joking, right? Hyper-V is pathetic when compared to the heavy virtualiztion players. When I say heavy, I don't mean chintzy x86 stuff. I mean HP's Integrity Virtual Machines running HP-UX, and IBM's VIO for AIX. Plus all Hyper-V is compatible with is other Microsoft OS's (and one or two outdated Linux distros). At least VMware makes an effort to officially support nearly all current x86 and x64 operating systems like FreeBSD, OSX Server, MSDOS, Netware, and Solaris x86.

+1

VMWare > Hyper-V. I've never had a client request Hyper V ever, it's always been VMWare and will continue to be as long as Microsoft won't support other OS's.

Doesn't Sony still control licensing for Blu-Ray, seeing as it is their tech? If so, don't bet on seeing a competing game system coming with it.

Wow, I am excited by this new model. Wanna buy one for myself!

honestly I have lots of problems with xbox.

if you really want to game then get a serious PC machine, it will cost more but the graphics and game experience is much better. much easier to use a mouse and a keyboard.

 

[stoogie]

the Xbox 360 S still uses the X-Clamps to hold the heatsink down(Which is the main cause for E74 and RRoD by putting pressure on the center of the chip while pushing in the opposite direction on the corners of the chip, then over time by heat the corners of the gpu/cpu will lose contact and cause RRoD), i guess Microsoft technicians learn't nothing, or are uneducated. Unless there just greedy and want to save money by not eliminating failure rates, so consumers have to buy a replacement system.

Why using a console if you have a PC? I will never understand people having even a few consoles lying around.

 

[sonic shocker]

At least with a console EVERYONE is equal on 'online multiplay' (ie) all consoles run the same speed and use same graphics card ..cos faster PC's get advantage online and its too easy to mod games on the PC.
Anyway Its quad processor and equal to 10gig speed.

What are PC users doing here anyway?
