The NYTimes ran an article on XBox software when it first came out. Seems M'soft approached a bunch of coming but not-yet "arrived" music groups to get permission to use their music. M'soft promised free publicity all over in return for free usage rights. Several of the people/bands approached agreed. Seems that M'soft prefers not to pay for product placement. <<MY OPINION, not my employer's>> hp * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
