Does Microsoft actually make the Xbox or just sub-contract it out?

Either way, your point is taken. But since the OP did explicitly contrast
the supposed Microsoft PC revolution with games machines, I think my
insignificant error is forgivable and understandable. The Xbox is not a
general purpose computer, it has limited software other than games, and
Microsoft gets really, really REALLY upset if you try to install another
operating system on it.
