The most recent redesign, for example, was dealt with inside a week. But on his recent Australian adventure Microsoft president Steve Ballmer dispensed one of the clearest policy statements on Xbox so far - Microsoft intends Xbox to be a closed system and to stay that way, and will use both technical and legal avenues to protect it."If you read the bit at the bottom they talk about a Free Hardware Foundation, i hope this happens just like we have free software. If we did get this would this get underminded as well because of what it can offer? Times are changing.
However this is typical short sighted Ballmer at his best(worst), he is so fucking stupid no wonder he doesn't understand the concepts of linux and why IBM DOES sell Redhat.
