Microsoft is cheatting? Hum... WHAT ABOUT THE BLUE-RAY PAYOFF BY SONY? News flash to the fanboys: Sony paid for the studios to drop HDDVD in favor of BR, so they would have exclusive control of the next gen media. They already tried that with Betamax in the past. Classic Sony strategy, always seeking monopolistic control. Microsoft has done it too, with their attempt to control media with the WMV and WMA formats.
Happens all the time in the industry. In some cases it can be considered illegal but many times it's taken as something that is part of the business.
