Direct X has helped them a lot.


This is the same idea just taken to another level of actually providing
the tools for development instead of just a hardware level framework to
write to.

What I want to know is, how is this going to give Microsoft a strategic
advantage? The obvious comparison is with java, whose write once deploy
anywhere strategy has yet to beat out all competition. Just because you
will have the ability to deploy code simultaneously to two systems won't
stop you from having to write code for the PS2, which still is the
biggest console on the market. As we have seen with ColdFusion, having
simple coding patterns does not ensure any kind of dominance.
