Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

Intriguing
I saw the Milo presentation yesterday, and it's pretty intriguing. Of course it's all planned interactions there for the demo, so it will be interesting to see what it's really like, whenever it becomes available. With the Wii sensor bar and Play Station 3 Eye already sitting on top of my TV, I'm not sure how much real estate is left up there!I think this will put the Wii into the dustbin of history
Wii without the controllers and with Xbox speed, graphics as well as new voice commands. Unless Nintendo can top this, it will be as quickly displaced with this disruptive tech as fast and suddenlty as it rose to glory. Highly doubtful Nintendo has the tech capabilities to remotely come close to topping this given their relatively limited R&D budget and assets.As for Playstation, they have already been passed. Game over.
The only issue for Microsoft is how much this tech will cost. If it's prohibitive, then the Wii may still have legs for another gen or two. If it's very affordable, fuhgeddhit.
