A Chicago area hotel named the Hotel Sax Chicago has a lounge area called Studio where hotel guests can relax on the couch and take advantage of the some of the latest offerings from Mictosoft!  More after the break...

Located on the hotel’s 6th FL, Studio guests will find the latest home entertainment technology:
 
• Five XBox 360 Elite® game stations with wireless controllers 
• Five Microsoft Zune® MP3 players, pre loaded with music and movies 
• Two HP laptop computers, connected to the Internet 
• A Microsoft Windows home entertainment PC, driven by Windows® Vista Media Center 

The Sax is being dubbed the 'Microsoft Hotel' since the Studio is 'powered' by Microsoft itself, but what a perk if you ever wanted to stay there!  Rooms start around the $250-per-night range so you can bet this isn't the only benefit to this lofty hotel stay!

As with many things Microsoft these days, there are some nay-sayers who don't find this remotely cool and find everything wrong with an idea like this.  I don't know what all the fuss is about - It's a great opportunity for people to get accustom to Microsoft products, but people apparently can't stand themed lounge areas.  They should stick to their Motel 6 next time :P.

What do y'all think?

rob   | 72.221.98.xxx | 2008-03-24 17:11:45 ACE...do you always have to end with "more after the break" or "more after the click" ??? its sooo damn annoying. Reply | Quote 7   5

ACE   | Administrator | 2008-03-25 15:47:34 Thanks for your input rob. The reason we use the 'read more' button is because there is more than one writer. Cluttering up the front page with huge posts can discourage the reader from continually scroll down, but it also give them the freedom to choose what they want to read. This is pretty standard on most Tech Blog sites like Engagdet and Gizmodo, but if you would like, I do post my front-page posts in the forums unabridged. Reply | Quote 3   2

Federal111   | 24.46.97.xxx | 2008-03-27 13:08:06 What i think he meant by that was that he hates it when you write "more after the click" and that you should not put that there but simply end the front page post there. He's not referring to the "readmore" button, but only the "more after the break" statement at the end of every front page article Reply | Quote 1   0

There serves no purpose in going to a zune related website and complaining about it. If you had problems it's probably because you can't spell right let along work the software, which isn't THAT hard to learn. Go to a different website if you want to complain Reply | Quote 1   0
