I got a new laptop, and I've been trying to keep it free of spyware, viruses, and all other forms of internet garbage...

Meaning: I haven't downloaded a filesharing program yet. (I had limewire, before. Ugh)

But now I have pretty much nothing on my computer, and I can't take it.

Can anyone recommend a file-sharing program that doesn't take a rocket scientist to use, and won't give my laptop tons of spyware, viruses, aids, and other garbage? (the least amount of them, anyways.

I'd like it to have a good variety of stuff.

I need it to "Download garage-band songs, that are on sharing services so their music can be heard by more people. And simple one-person-made games that aren't sold for money." Not that illegal crap. *cough*

Also, what's the minimum requirements for crysis? (if they're known)

GS: What can you tell us about the HDMI-enabled Xbox 360 rumors that have been going around?

CS: We're always working on prototypes and new technologies and just playing with stuff in Redmond to see what's interesting. I think at the moment we have the widest available connections on the system. If you want to get great HD, I think we've got a good solution for that. In the future it's interesting to see where standards evolve to. I think one of the problems that the whole industry, us and entertainment, are facing at the moment is we're in this world where standards are evolving very quickly.

We have different high-definition standards for discs that we know are competing at the moment. We think HD-DVD is going to be the right way to go, but really it's all about choice in that system so that's why we're offering these sort of services with downloads--skip that whole "format wars" problem. With other standards, audiovideo standards, they're evolving very quickly as well. We're obviously keeping an eye on that and saying, "What are the future standards and how do we give consumers the right choice for that?"

At the moment, everything you might have seen is just looking at our experimentation back in Redmond, not really a product that we're thinking about announcing.

I'm not worried about it.

It very well might come out, but if MS has a brain of any sort, they'll offer some kind of "trade in" deal where you give them your old 360 and MAYBE a small amount of money and you'll get the new one.

Otherwise, fans will be irate, and they'll lose all the support they've gained so far. It took a while for MS to break into the market as well as it has.... All it needs is one hard, solid punch to the face of the consumers to lose it all.

They'll be smart about it, if it happens.

PEOPLE PLEASE STOP POSTING AND LET THIS TOPIC DIE.

Look, obviously this guy is just an attention frek, or just being a troll. If he is being serious, then he has deep rooted problems where he is completely disillusional (sp?), bais as it gets, and a straight up liar. IF he's being serious, his life must be hard enough as it is, SO DON'T POST, BECAUSE YOU'RE GIVING HIM WHAT HE WANTS.

DON'T FUEL THE FIRE!

Sorry for the huge font, but this just needs to get noticed and stopped, right now. Ban him or something, mods, seriously. Even if he is just giving an "opinion", it's obviously irrational enough to be offensive. At least to me. My brain was offended after the first two sentences. (actually, it started after noticing the thread creator)

FIVE STARS

Most definitely. Awesome, informative thread. I never knew Sony was that evil.... that root stuff is kinda scary, actually.
