Once the PS3 comes out, that'll be 2 of the main 3 game consoles on the
market running Linux.

Between that, and the massive losses they're making trying in vain to
corner the console market, MS must be really feeling the squeeze right now.

But the best is yet to come, as Nintendo and Sony encroach into the
set-top box and HTPC markets, by enabling their consoles to be servers
or clients (extenders) for streaming content. Then again, it probably
won't be too long before somebody figures out how to get MythTV running
on these things also.

So then they'll be getting attacked on two fronts in full force; against
the Xbox and WMCE.

With so much Linux around, who's going to give a damn about Vista?
