Not that I give a damn about Microsoft or their problems... In my humble
opinion all the xbox360 needed was a good review by someone that understood
heat and how to remove it properly. The console and the games are good, but
until the hardware stop overheating (chips un-soldering themselves), I'll
not buy one. The only other thing MSFT should have done also and still has
the ability to do, is offer a Linux mouse and keyboard kit for it. It would
then be a perfect product for market.
