You could theoretically derive a virus that resided in the DD, but it would be hard to make one that could actually do anything, especially for games that had a cartrige and were just using the DD for storage. If nintendo is smart enough to mark certain areas of the disk as read only at the factory it would be even more difcult. In any event, if a disk got infected with a virus it couldn't spread to other disks unless you were doing hot-swapping, which i'm not sure if the DD will even support.

Whoa, I know lots about the industry. I have been reading boot for the longest time now, and had bought a version of linuix before. But this is a big loop. The world is Windows, so when you get a computer, you gotta get Windows. It would be very hard to change any system. If everyone was as knowledgeable as certain power users like us, yeah, computers would be better. Like the US switching to the metric system. It makes more sense, it is much better, but it would be damn hard to do that. Very hard. We have already been locked in. Sure, I could stick it out and go linuix again, but the chances of a following is hard. The Mac, a much better engineered system, has no support, even though it is actually a superior system. I have read things from industry analysts, and the main idea is that no company wants to invest in an new OS, it just wouldn't be profitable enough for such a risk. One of the few pieces of luck we have is the Government. Oh, don't worry about Microsoft, with competition, and I mean real competition, they will be a damn fine company, making some pretty hot stuff. Different versions of operating systems attuned for different tastes. An OS tuned better for gaming, imagine... Okay, and Windows CE is a very very well made OS, nearly perfect. If it was on a larger PC, somehow, the world would make more sense (But such a change is not going to occur, little industry or consumer support.) It is used in many palmtop devices now. The way CE manages a computer is better. The Katana might just use the "innards" or kernel of Windows CE, but perhaps not the interface. If it did, that would be interesting to see what could be done. The Katana could be more of a convergence device, integrating PC and gaming functions. Similar to the proposed ideas behind the PSX2 and 64DD. Oh, BeOS and OS/2 are nice, but they just won't do what I need my computer to do, even if they are made better. - -----Original Message----- >If you think win95 is the only thing you can use then you're just short >sighted.
