@AceCometh: Satellaview is the name for a product used in conjunction with the Super NES/Famicon in Japan. It has no bearing (as far as we know) with any new console and I think was just used for the author's piece as a point of history

@kittygus: A menu screen, a playbook for sports games. Imagine for an NBA or NFL game creating your own plays right there on the fly. I'm sure others can come up with other things you could do with a screen on the controller.

Absolutely great piece!!! Of course, those who are gonna hate Nintendo fail to see the point the writer made. Maybe Nintendo needed the "failures"(I use the term lightly) or shortcomings from the NGC and Wii to give them insight on what to do better the next time. And rumors or not, there is too much information coming out not being refuted by Nintendo leading me to believe there has to be some truth to some of the specs we have been hearing.

I had some minor issues with Vista. But I agree Sharpshooter, it wasn't that bad and I still like it. Granted, I no longer have my desktop with Vista on it (and that's only cause my gf never really wanted a laptop and decided that we would switch. The laptop has XP). But I did not understand the intense hate for Vista. I was gonna buy a new laptop in the coming months. But I guess I should probably wait for W7
