Windows' Kernel was written from scratch on C++, because all the UNIX code MS owned was sold to SCO. BillG wanted to depart from unix, I don't know why, But Windows/DOS is closer to CP/M than UNIX
A removable HDD on the 360? Plug one of these in, update your Dashboard, and suddenly, even more of a media tie in with the 360 and everything else.
Take it a few steps farther, perhaps developers would start including game soundtracks as playable files for the new Argo, tie the 360 Dashboard into Urge, etc.
And to take it another step, perhaps open the Portable Audio Device Market to people who don't own a PC?
maybe as a backup or something, because realisticly, who is gonna have xbox live with 360 but no computer? it may be an interesting service to have tho.
MORE IDEAS! MORE!
Who needs Rhapsody? Make one we can download directly from the device. Example: While waiting for the bus, I want to download American Idiot from Green Day. Using the nearby WiFi, I go to an Microsoft On Demand store on the player, and wala! I now have Green Day on my Zune! Who needs the PC?

also apparantly they are touting transfering songs from one device to another using the wifi. that doesn't sound very legal to me... i love it!

That sounds better than Zune. Of course it isn't final, but geez luiz!
I hate the thought saying, "Happy Birthday! I got you the new Zune!"
Slips right off your tongue and into the toilet if you ask me.

I still want whole screen on front, tactile buttons on back.
What you said reminds me of the time IBM said that all good inventions have already been invented. Just like TMV, I think it's sad when such a company says such horrible words.
