My dream is that the xBox Team, the Silverlight Team, the Windows Media Center Team and the Zune/xBox Store Team all get together to build a soup-to-nuts Home Entertainment, DVR, Web Surfing and Basic Computing Center around the xBox 360 - sort of like what the AppleTV is supposed to be, only with games and basic use software like a simple office program compatible w/Office 07. It wouldn't have to come w/much else at first - you could buy xBox discs to install further programs or download them from the expanded Store (hmm - where have I seen that recently?
), a Bluetooth keyboard and pointing device could come standard w/it, and store extra data and maybe even run apps in the Cloud where MSFT is headed anyway. This way, MSFT wouldn't have to acquire anybody to be competitive - they have all the tools within their own structure...if only they put them together and use them.
