In other words, a second decade will come.
Or they shouldn't call that a 'first'...

It's probably a hint for a new C&C yes.
It seems this is a pack will be containing all the C&C's ever made, working on XP and maybe a few extra's (that's what some online stores and a news post on cncden seems to say). I may buy it 16 feb 2006 (release date) since I never got the Red Alert expansions and lost my TD Nod disk 
Edit: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/051104/20051104005269.html?.v=1
Could be intresting, not as much as a new C&C though.

Ohwell, it brings in some more people to Ren I guess.
But I'm not buying that since, I have 2 huge boxes of TD and RA1
with td cover, and aftermath and counterstrike in it.
Also where is Sole survivor? that is a game that I never saw in stores here (The Netherlands) I know that it's bassicly just TD but with online play?

There already is a box, containing TD RA TS RA2 and Renegade. I doubt a version with Generals will be the new thing.
Anyways I would be also quite suprised if they announced a new game. To be honest, I doubt this will be anything big. EA has the habit of making things sound better than they are. Hey people we decided to finally kill WOL. But don't worry, we will make it so that you can play on a 3rd party's alternative server. Isn't that a great thing to do to celebrate 10 years of C&C.
Update: It is a compilation disk.

Oh, I called it right. I'm kinda upset I edited my original post, because I actually called both the games and the inclusion of the fan films, specifically.
Kinda funny that EA's way to give back to the community is to resell the games to us along with our own fan creations. "Thanks for buying our games and making fan films for us. Here, please rebuy all the games and those great fan films you made!"

Twelve Titles From Top 5 Best-Selling* PC Franchise of All-Time Plus Bonus DVD
The bonus DVD sounds interesting. I have all the other stuff already though, so...it all depends how much it costs.

US MSRP of $39.99.
Not that bad, i could use ANOTHER renegade serial. I have a small collection of valid ones for my network.
But more importantly, i never even heard of "Command & Conquer The Covert Operations™ (April 1996)"
or "Command & Conquer Red Alert Counterstrike™ (Mar. 1997"

Basicly the box contains everything I have. Except it doesn't have sole survivor. Which is the only title I also don't have.
And the box doesn't have C&C (Dos). Wich I do have, so my own collection of titles is already more than they have.

If they make all the games work on XP, I will definitely buy this. Not that SK/Scorp's fix wasn't fun 
Not to mention making them work at higher resolutions, and with better colors.

Yeah, that would be nice.

No C&C Sole Survivor? Thats the only game I'm missing from the whole collection.
From those who haven't heard of it, its the Multiplayer expansion for the original C&C. I saw it on eBay ONCE and it sold for like 5 bucks. I'm still kicking myself because I didn't buy it.

It's a nice compilation, but EA is just trying to milk as much money out of this as they can. It's obvious.
I have all of the games already (legally, yes) except for Sole Survivor and Red Alert: Counter-Strike.

I'd only buy this if they worked on XP like you said. Presumeably they will, as it says that it is "under development".
Ah well. If I get it that'll mean that I have 1 copy TD, 2 RA (2 Aftermath, 1 CS), 2 RA2 & YR, 2 TS & Firestorm, 2 Renegade, 1 Generals.
Yep. I'm set if I have to spend the rest of my life in a nuclear bunker. I mean, who could go wrong with all that C&C?
w00t?

Ya know, if Westwood was doing this, we would have a shot at updated/changed cutscenes and changed/enhanced music and graphics.
But EA's doing it, so the chances drop significantly.

Or since EA has the source code?
Fix the ingame crash bug's like blue screen on most maps first.
There's still a handfull of players which can't play Ren with 60 fps.
Ofcourse this is just a dream, and probably not worth the effort.

RA: counterstrike was the first add-on for RA and I found it quite a dissapointing add-on. It went just that bit too far in the units that were placed in and if I remember correctly, you couldn't use these units in skirmish. Aftermath was way better.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord
