True, I suppose I was thinking too narrowly. I guess you'd have the xbox in there with some games running. And Excel spreadsheets. People could really get a kick out of plugging some numbers into one of those! And Word. Nothing like throwing together a mail merge to liven your trip to the mall.

In all seriousness though, this is to compete with Apple for hearts and minds, is it not? I just don't see what their strategy is or how it is goning to work.

I guess I don't have a lot of confidence in MS. Remember the Jerry Seinfeld ads?
