Microsoft: Xbox One Is Perfect For Your Small Business

[Kaymish]

i wonder if micro$soft understands the concept of cost-benefit analysis i have employees in my office every week begging for new equipment or gear or other miscellaneous crap and 8 times in 10 they never get past the cost benefit equation or there is a better option /cheaper option and for a small business this is even more important they hae less money to piss away on crap

The profound ignorance is that you can buy a cheap PC and do the same thing.

Anybody know the cost of a good teleconference peice? $50? $60?

No. Be ready to drop $1,000 IF YOU'RE LUCKY. That isn't even including the cost of the computer. So, this is actually much cheaper than buying all the telecommunications hardware alone. I have worked for a company (Bank of New York-Mellon) where this hardware is used and their specific hardware now costs about $3,500 retail. (Polycomm)

Yeah. This actually is appealing.

Perhaps, but the closed nature of the console works aginst it. I personally doubt the Xbone will allow a Crestron controller to run scriptson it or let users install other programs like Scopia.

The console stands in between cheap PC's and tablets which would be the first choice for small business and the professional units forlarge corporations.

Too expensive and lacking the multipurpose ablity of the PC and the ablities of a dedicated devie, I wouldn't reccomend it.

Once you're to the point of using a Cestron controller I would think money's not nearly that much of an object. But if you're not up there, I still think an XOne isn't a bad idea.

Personally I am thrilled. I have always wanted some sort of computerized office machine that can do things like store documents, act as a writing tool and help me keep in touch with my overseas colleagues without having to foot expensive phone bills. Something that is simple enough to be used by any average Joe. One might call it a "personal computer". Hell microsoft, that is a market I'm sure you could just downright own.

But seriously microsoft, have you gotten so bored that you are now trying to dethrone yourself from the nr 1 office computer position?

*monocle drops*

BALDERDASH AND COCKERSPANIALS!!!

that's what those small foreigners are for sir! HARUMPH!

we will do to this small clothing manufacturer what we did to that fool Babbage, after all but what are they other than business thieves trying to over take the abacus and slide rule industries.

now where's my monocle?


OT: as others have said this seems a bit of the barrel scrape combined with being bound and determined to stick to the path they started on, regardless of the large anchor they tied to their neck and the path clearly leading of the end of a pier

Ha ha. No. Scammed? No. Really. Here's a comparable device. [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1ZC0K70413] Tell me again, how is $3,800 less than $500?

1. you just compared Professional conferencing equipment [http://docs.polycom.com/global/documents/support/sales_marketing/products/video/hdx7000_datasheet.pdf] with Kinect? While the specs on kinect are not clear (as if microsoft will ever be clear, we will hack and find out sooner than they publish.....) it will not come anywhere close. Your comparing a formula car with a sedan and claim that formula car is much more expensive and people buy it anyway.

2. You can get a cheaper setup with same quality as Polycom with PC hardware running it. Your paying a lot to make things easy there, not for equipment.

Capcha: run farther
its just trolling isnt it?

Hm, does it come with a limited preorder Corporate Espionage Edition?

=700 dollars vs 3600 dollars
and you can do more than conferences with it.

and i just picked a few random parts, you can get ones that look better to your liking if you want, i looked at specs more than looks.

Capcha: fade away
no.

I would say the mics need extensions, but as I said, it's over.
