SOLD OUT

Well the console is not even out yet and I'm proud to announce that the XBOX 360 is SOLD OUT! We have just a few hours until the next-generation of gaming arrives, but it looks like it will be for only a select few who were able to get one. At my local Wal-Mart they sold tickets that were required to get a 360 tonight and within an hour of selling them they were all gone. So Microsoft has succeeded, the XBOX 360 is a hit.

The following is the XBOX 360 Software Compatibility List for first-generation XBOX titles. This list is as complete as of 11-18-05. For the XBOX 360 to play first-generation software titles the Hard Drive is required to load the emulation software.

Wow, its been a while! Well anyway Microsoft has entered the era know as Web 2.0. The software giant has released (in beta) two new product line-ups known as "Live". Windows Live and Office Live create for the first time a web idenity for the products. Windows Live has a web portal, security tools, instant messenger, web-based favorites, search technologies, and the new web-based email client that was thought to replace Hotmail. Office Live will feature web-based versions of the popular Office products like Outlook.
I tried out the Windows Live Security Center and I have to say for the first try I'm impressed. They still have a long way to go but the shows how Microsoft will be even more security-centered in the coming years.

See it in action... Windows Live (BETA)
