    I know it is not the Microsoft style, but tossing away Windows Mobile and starting completely over would have been a better option. They said it themselves - they are supporting an operating system that started before a wireless connection was even an option, let alone a phone. Admittedly, WinMo 7 is mostly a re-write. Mostly. But, they must have known years ago that they were in trouble. The fact that WinMo phones from years ago had to be rebooted daily was not a good sign.

    You guys crack me up with your Pre praise. Who'd a thunk that you'd be so Palmtastic. I'd love to see how the handset does when it makes it to the market. But really, let's be a bit more realistic in the expectations we set for this thing.

    This list has some good candidates and Dean should have ranked a little higher on his God-meter. As much as I hate using the term, Gates and Jobs (and Woz) were the real mavericks. They brought personal computing to the masses and everything else (PDA's, cell phones, etc) ushered in right behind them. While these guys (and gal) today are doing their parts to take this even further, the field has already been plowed. I don't doubt they'll have their share of contributions and make their mark, I just don't see any of them reaching the same level that Bill and Steve have.

    The problem with the list is that there is only one guy on there who is listed as being considered for godhood who is genuinely out to better the lives of people everywhere over and over again.


    Laugh at the Segway all you want, but it's an amazing piece of technology that is designed to increase people's mobility. And his water purification plant... Just amazing what this man thinks of.

    In reply to Interview: Robbie Bach Explains Why There's No Portable Xbox
    To me, seems that competing with Nintendo and Sony in the handheld arena is a bit pointless now, as it would take a hell of a lot of oomph to top the time-killer status of the DS, and emulate its home-based counterpart a la PSP. I imagine that many titles that people would want to have on-the-go may not even be developed for it, just like we'll never see any version of Gran Turismo on the PSP anytime soon, we won't see the likes of Forza on an XBox Portable. Also, what media would they use? Some proprietary disc like the UMD? Would it be a flash drive that hooks up to an XBox or PC? Cartridges? It's not as much a no-brainer as some would let on, I think.

    The Zune is Microsoft's portable Xbox. The real question is will the Zune's gaming capabilities be limited in an MP3 Player-based structure, or will the Zune be physically expanded in the future for more explicit gaming?
