I rarely have something positive to say about Microsoft. I was a customer until the early 90s when I decided the Open Systems world was more appealing. My disgust only increased over the years as it became well-nigh impossible to navigate a Microsoft-free career path in the shadow of the behemoth. Oddly, though, I found myself realizing just today that when Kinect comes out that I want to buy an Xbox 360 (which are finally quiet enough thanks to a 45nm process) just to play EA Sports Active 2.0. It's crazy how things change.
