What's that supposed to mean? On second thought. Nevermind.

What does this have to do with 360 or Europe hating America?

It's about Microsoft not giving out their source code so developers can make programs that run on Windows effectively, more or less forcing people to use the Microsoft products, and packing in Media Player with Windows, so people aren't given a choice.

I know but that's changing they opened up the previous Office Binary Format, and the new format is an open standard to be accepted by OSI, and I've read somewhere they'll be opening up their APIs.
Still I can't get out of my head how the shamelessly destroyed their competition in the 1st browser wars, without adhering to any WWW standards, especially with their ActiveX.

Niether do I... Just like most people in Japan don't hate America either. I'm just saying there are reasons why Europeans could hate America in the same way the fact that "Japan's hate for America" is stunting 360 sales.
