Can you read? Aaproductions said "It's not Microsoft, but it runs on windows." Just like your computer. Microsoft doesn't make the system, their operating system is being used on it. Just like Microsoft doesn't make your computer, it's just they're operating system you're using.

Oh and I didn't find it for 150$ for preorder. :Confuzzle

PREORDER IT THERE FOR 150!

EDIT: YOU CAN GET IT RIGHT NOW!!!! THE UK ALREADY HAS THEM, SO THAT DOESNT MEAN WE CAN GET ONE SHIPPED TO THE US OR CANADA!

I just recieved my order in the mail, and it is awsome. I ordered mine from one of the developers on ebay. They didnt include the charger, though, so I had to order a charger off of gizmondo.com

I ordered the game 'Colors'. They say I should get it within 5-10 days. should be Very fun. It connects the the GPS and lets you walk around your town, in the video game! (Thats what they say)

But it looks different than the one in the picture. The pictures on the buttons are different.

i feel like you shouldnt be littering the microsoft forum with this. and trust me, microsoft isnt proud of windows (or at least they shouldnt be) bill gates created windows on a mac...but he did a ****ty job.

Microsoft is proud of Windows, because it has gained them a monopoly over the computer software industry. Bill Gates didn't create Windows on a 'mac' as you would know it, OS itself is relatively new and based off of a BSD core, as such it was birthed after Windows. He is actually a genius, though over the years his (note by his I mean the software based off of his ideals and base) software has become largely bloatware, that is a side effect of having many programmers going in different directions. Even Linux is beginning to see problems with bloat, though new versions are still capable of running on old systems (early x86 architecture), there is beginning to be a bit of a drag in some of the bottom of the line systems (133mhz etc). I can watch DVDs, install packages, browse the web, chat, and much more all at once without feeling the least big of drag on my box, which is FAR from upto date.

By the way, I have a feeling this thing is going to be about as successful as the Sega Dreamcast, and thats if they get lucky. (Hey guess what, both the Giz. and the Dreamcast run Windows CE, theres another thing they share)
