Speaking of the generational differences… my kids use iTunes almost exclusively. I still prefer to get the actual CD from Amazon since I’m getting the music in a lossless format. If I do buy compressed music I prefer Amazon because I can get a 256kb encoding rather than the 128kb encoding itunes offers. I wish there was a service that offered lossless formats for those of us (few) that care…

I think your spot on in your analysis of the gaming buisness. A couple of comments:

If "PC-lite" games become big on netbooks do you think this will benefit the xbox since it is direct-x based.

Anecdotally, my household (12 year old twins) seems to buoy your theory of the WII bubble. My kids have had the WII for a year now but they are not playing it nor are they requesting games for the WII. The Xbox gets all the play time and my kids are only asking for xbox games… The music playing games are big right now.

MSFT dominates the productivity apps business on the MAC. This was not done by "leveraging" an OS monopoly. Lastly, NT was developed in the 90’s and is technically superior and more "modern" than the UNIX variants you speak of (developed in the 80’s) one example of this is B2/C2 security compliance and more robust memory/object management architecture.

Problem is, we need progressive minded political leadership to make this a reality. It can happen sooner or later but it will happen. Let's hope it's sooner...]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 21:59:46 -0400 www.sciam.com/article....
