I DO not want M$ or sont to totally take over the industry. tif they had there way a new 360 would come every 2 years!!!:evil:

it's funny you said that because I am a developer (C#.net),and I mainly work on M$ platforms. M$ renews its products every 3-4 years. SQL server 2005 for example was release in late 04 and now we going to see a SQL server 2008, lol that's 3 years. It's totally rediculous. I am working on my MCPD(EA) certification which is based on the 2.0 framework (this framwork was a 2005 release) and now they're on framework 3.5. The second you get familiar with a product they have, the next second a new product is coming out, and because I am a consultant I need to know the new features in the new product so I can sell it to the customer. Get used to it!! that's how M$ works, not to mention how they always release early on all of their products only to have "service packs" fix the issues later (does that remind you of the 360 or what? released the console with hardware problems,but they trying to fix it later :lol:). That's pretty much why I don't support the 360. I have an awesome gaming PC and a PS3 which to me seems to be the best gaming combo. I can't stand what M$ does sometimes. If this news is true, I think Gamers should boycott them. WARNING to ever gamer out there, If M$ domniates the gaming Market, I believe that we will see crappier games with a new hardware release every 3-4 years, and that's coming from a guy that works on M$ products.
Every software company does this - new releases every 3 years(if not sooner) service packs and hot fixes in between.In the IT worldif you are 3 years behind the technology you are going to last very long.
what you said is partially true, but not completely true. a database server for example should be released every 5 years not every 3 years. The reason is very simple, the companies adapting SQL server 2005 for example need to see how reliable/not reliable the database engine is, and that alone takes more than three years. as a matter of fact M$ was going to release a SQl server every 2 years but stoped because of that reason.
