Tim, get back to the Windows/Microsoft newsgroups where you belong. You are
completely missing the point and bend backwards to discredit me. You can drop
the stalking, too.

Yes, Microsoft is believe to have bribed with a $100,000,000 check. Nobody
knows who wrote the check, but Microsoft could not completely deny this when

360 with its peripherals. DRM _aside_.
