Re: [NTLK] Courier microsoft

Well I can't speak much for the zunes as I don't have one but the new zune hd is getting pretty good reviews for a 1st Gen multi touch effort. I can say that the original xbox IMHO hit the nail on the head, it is a giant brick, but it was easy to use and I felt it did a lot of stuff right (HDD, online gaming, user interface). I've put a lot of hours on my xbox and I am happy with it (which surprised me since its a MS product and I've never been happy with windows except maybe win95 for a little while lol). I don't have and haven't used an xbox 360 so I'm not sure there.
I always wanted to try a winCE device since I'm a gadget guy, is it really that horrible? Is there anything to like? I didn't see in the article that courier would be winCE? But I guess its logical that MS would use winCE as a base. I do however agree with the earlier thoughts that we may not see this done for years lol if MS talks about a new product and we don't see it in 3-6 months we probably won't see it done for 3-6 years :-D
But it still looks interesting....

Disclaimer: no I'm not a MS guy I just think they are doing a few things right (xbox, zune hd) :-P
Honestly I'm not even sure I'm an apple guy any more either.... maybe I'll try Linux! (or gnu/Linux, sorry Mr. Stallman) LOL.

This quote from the article tells it all:
"Zune and Xbox have both gone through similar design processes" - HA!
