    Default XBOX Update Squeezes out LINUX

    Why stop a good thing man ;D

    Internet-connected Xbox units are phoning home to Microsoft and downloading a patch that closes the loophole that the Xbox Linux Project was exploiting to get Linux running on the Microsoft-built game machine. The patch may also delete "foreign" files that the Xbox Linux users install on the machine. There is some evidence that even if Xbox users don't enable the "Xbox Live" settings, some games also can connect to the internet and transmit information back to Microsoft.

    I guess they are afraid of getting better ;D


    Seriously though......

    If I buy a piece of hardware, you can tell me what to do with it. That is not intellectual property its a piece of machine that I paid for. The most you can do is tell me that, if I damage it like that I breach warranty.

    Whats next they gonna tell you that you cannot install linux on a machine that uses a microsoft Keyboard and Mouse?
