J. Allard About Xbox 360 Launch with Edge

[wraggster]

* Edge: Now that the machine is in production and on your desk, how well does it fulfil your original vision?
* Allard: I think it's pretty much spot on. I spoke with someone who was very involved in the planning about three years ago - he came over for about five minutes to drop something off and ended up spending three hours looking at all the capabilities of the machine, and he said, "Son of a gun, if you guys didn't do 95 per cent of the original vision of the machine!" And I looked at him and said, "Well, what was the other five per cent, what did we drop?" and he said, "I don't know. I couldn't find it!"
