So unless Microsoft does what they usually do and remove all Xbox One games from the shelves (example: when Office XP comes to stores, Office 2000 becomes impossible to find, etc), or keeping Live out of the hands of anyone but Xbox Next owners, they'll find the current base slow to pick up.
I can see MS doing this to force their consumers to upgrade.
I can guaranty that they will not spend 2 seconds finding out if all those overdraft charges and this charge that they are putting on us customers are to be refunded. They will instead wait till people come in one at a time to have them removed... how many people wont bother 1000, 2000 so lets say that's 5$ a head that's 5000$ to 10000$ of extra earnings for the bank.
I live in Canada. Where only coporations do that sorta thing. NO Radioshak employee #1293 you do not need my address name and first born to sell me this 2$ gizmo
"We need to slow the upgrade to Longhorn, and since that is relatively costly to businesses, if we can make cross platform applications work well, there is an opportunity for Linux migration"
The main problem with the "BitTorrent" idea is that it gets associated with "illegal" actions. I was on the "Desert Combat" Testers team and we had to download 600-700mb patches once a week... off one ftp server. When i mentioned the idea of using a modified BitTorrent client/server to ease the strain on the server i was told we could not use "illegal" tools.
First educate the public and then start to think about upgrading things to help the internet not crash and burn.
Only problem is are those that do not know they are "sharing" still liable... ie those that serve up 1000000 of songs and download almost none are guilty as sin.
But lets say someone that is very computer iliterate uses Kazaa or something else, and they unknowngly share out a file they downloaded. Does that still cauze them to be guilty as sin.

If we stoop to their level, what's the difference between us and them
Any signals he would find would just be scary
Does his for lack of better words breading of fiber networks, did I understand this right, take into account some immovable obstacles?
Or is this process used to design the cable itself?
Or a new era of litigation
