Halo ODST will include a free multiplayer-beta for Halo Reach. MS needs to include a multiplayer beta for 3rd parties as well according to this. :D

This is sooo stupid. I can't believe MS is not allowed to offer something for FREE. You can transfer this to a lot of other products. So a Playstation bundle with Killzone 2 is not allowed either, because the customer won't try other games/shooters. This is more or less the same thing.

No, it isn't.

- MS starting point is a dominating position on the OS market. This makes them subject to extra scrutiny to make sure that this position doesn't transfer to limited competition in other related markets, say the browsers' one. If MS had a 5% market share for OSs, this would be a moot point.

- A game is not meant to be a substitute for all other games. A browser is meant to substitute competing browsers in everything, forever.

okay, what about iPod and iTunes?
