No takers
Umm, working with Microsoft (XBox) has nothing to do with Intel.

Other than the fact that there are applications for Intel/AMD platforms, that is. Which means that people buy those platforms.

Go put your lunch money on a WinCell box. I suppose everyone has to do something similar at some point, like the old Altair 8080 box I bought thirty years ago: a cool piece of hardware with no practical uses, but it was cool anyway.

Meantime, businesses buy computers to do useful work. The programs that do that run on Intel/AMD, not Cell -- which is a good thing for Microsoft, because if it weren't for all of the software that only runs on WinTel platforms, there'd be no reason for them to send money to Redmond [1].

[1] Except for a few like you who have a fetish on the subject of MS, but I rather doubt that there are enough of you to keep Ballmer in office chairs on donations from your piggy banks.
