I like how a monopolist wants to democratize something. I guess it's their own implementation of democracy. ("Hey, you should use our DemocracyX. You will be able to "free" countries twice as fast!")
OK, they don't have the monopoly in the console world yet. Hell.. the XBOX360 sales are abysmal.
If anyone else would be doing this it probably would be a good thing but as it's Microsoft you just can't get around the thought they're just trying to continue their "strategy" to lock more and more people to their platform. Well, the DirectX marketing campaign doing a great job so far as everyone already seems to await the new release of the API collection as it would be the f--king second coming of jesus.
