You're going to have to link me to get the context of that statement. Personally I don't buy that they made Xbox to protect windows. You're trying to put round pegs in square holes. For me MS saw how the gaming market was expanding and they wanted a peace of the pie. 

Can't find the link it was along time ago but Billgates said the reason they ok'd xbox was they saw Sony's success and how much  Playstation had grown the market and Kutaragi talking about making playstation the centre of the home starting with PS2.

MS where concerned they Sony with their entertainment arms would succeed a MS home box would be a complete closed system something they didn't have with windows so they entered to stop Sony owning the home and how Sony leveraging that could impact windows.  

Thank you. That's a little bit more of an explanation. How true do you think that statement is and how much weight do you that reason truly holds to why they built the Xbox?
