Breakdown Of U.S. Sales Numbers for Broadband Enabled Devices

I'm sorry, but why are you using the number of "Minutes" of videos the xbox users have downloaded - is it because thats what Netflix and MSFT pr hacks have provided? It is all about how many videos, not minutes. It is a lame attempt to inflate the numbers when Apple is talking about Billions of songs and videos sold, not minutes. And even then xbox is including movie trailers. Please....

Apple to Experience Market Share Madness

Malkiel - you must not be reading the same article as the rest of us...

"NPD saw significant gains in notebook systems sales for Apple during February, sales rose 64 percent in units and 67 percent in revenues year over year." The train is gaining momentum across several product categories is the point of the article, and each of those categories holds huge opportunities. Current iPod users are now buying other products... like high margin computers and iPhones... and not sure where you got "stuck with the same market share", Apple market share has been building quite handsomely (4x competition) especially in the US market, with the rest of the world ready to start coming up to speed as well. And long time Mac users are buying more and more Apple products, and convincing others to do so in droves... The cash register is ringing.

Three Reasons I Chose Microsoft over Apple for Home Media

What a ridiculous position. First, getting all your advice from the "pros" at MSF - of course with the easy of use and reliability of MSF based systems, that's the kind of support you need, but no one else can get.

Further, I love the fact that as you speak of not having multiple boxes, you end with statements about buying and installing even more equipment.... You are not a typical consumer! And your whole position is grossly misleading.

And as a testament to the incredibly easy world of MSF (sic), you tell us it will take you a "few weeks" to get it all installed and up and running before you can give us more info... to quote...

"I'm going to write up a more substantive review (and maybe do a video tour) on Vista Media Center and my XBox 360 Extenders in the next few weeks once I get all the pieces set up and in place."

Thanks for all your great advice on exactly what NOT to do... including buying a game counsel as a dvd player which is now obsolete as it is based on the failed MSF supported format of HD DVD. DUH!
