To the contrairy, Mr. Anon GAY-mer.
M$ has the right to update SOFTWARE, not to update MY hardware, that i paid MY hard earned $ for. That is tantimount to saying, if I sold you a harddrive & you put it into your machine, I could then (using anymeans @ my diposal) enter that unit & modify it as I see fit. If I don't like what you have I could delete it or replace your enitre NIN collection with Debbie boone mp3's.
This is what micronazi's are doing to us xbox owners who want to do nothing but expand the usage of THEIR OWN hardware (NOT M$'s Hardware). The EULA is for software NOT hardware, READ IT! (I did.) The software I use IS NOT THERES , it was produced by men & women who have a passion for anything digital, not just by a group of pirates or script kiddies who want to play games they have DLd from Kaakrap.
I want to be able to stream audio/video to my TV using MY hardware, I want to be able to check my email or surf the web in the comfort of my Foofchair.
Waht If M$ didn't like the site you goto on your COMPUTER, & decided that they wouldnt let you anymore by patching windows (without your concent) to block those sites (or software for that matter).
This HOLLYWOOD contrived idea of what a hacker is is bullshit. we do not all harm people or their computers. The guys that found the RCM exploit, reported it to M$. M$ did nothing puplicly UNTIL they released the code on the net. Which they did to force M$ grubby little hand on the issue (which if you know anything about, is a GAPPING hole).

LET ME & MY HARDWARE BE. WE AIN'T HURTING NOBODY!
