200236 2003-12-13 21:18:00 Microsoft planning non-standard media for Xbox Next?

"A job advertisement which has appeared on Microsoft's careers website suggests that the company may be considering moving to a proprietary disc format for its next console, in an effort to make piracy on the device more difficult." - full story here.


.NET available for non-Windows platforms

Being Microsoft, you'd think .NET would be a Windows-only innovation. But, happily, it isn't... - full article here.


Microsoft pushes content standard

A NEW group that includes Microsoft and Universal Music is hoping to make it easier to play music and videos across competing technologies. - full story here.



And to finish off todays news, Microsoft have released a video showing how to secure your PC in 3 simple steps... however MP9 is required to view the video ;)

PS If you're still interested in the MS video, you can get it here. 		Mike (15)

The one thing that is annoying me about Microsoft at the moment, is that Midtown Madness 3 is only available for the XBox!
As a Midtown Madness addict, I am hoping like crazy that I will be able to buy Ver3 to add to my Ver1 & Ver2 		Baldy (26)

200239 2003-12-14 10:25:00 Thanks Mike.
I will stay tuned........ Still, I am not surprised that its only released so far on XBox 		Baldy (26)
200240 2003-12-14 10:31:00 No matter which way they slice it, XBox-Next will be (IMHO) the biggest target for mod-chips to date, due to its top-line hardware (in the console market).

They are drawing a very fine line between Console and Desktop PC here.... with Linux on the XBox, I s'pose there IS no difference...!?! 		Chilling_Silently (228)
