[Full-Disclosure] RE: Computer Sabotage by Microsoft

[Presler, KennethX M]

When you log onto XBOX live it will automatically updates EVERY MS software that’s on it.  And it wont let you cancel. It will also download and run a check for modifications to your XBOX.  And if it finds any will ban your MAC address and kick you off the live service.  And towards the end of the EULA it states "Microsoft reserves the right to upgrade\modify software on your XBOX system"   Kenneth Presler =-) Siemens Business Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] "We all must live in this world together"     -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Esser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 11:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Computer Sabotage by Microsoft   Hi,   well it finally happened. I came back home after work, connected my XBOX to the internet and went into the XBOX-Live menu configuration. Well what happened. The XBOX started automaticly downloading the new crappy XBOX-Live dashboard, which is of course fixed.   This is IMHO an act of computer sabotage. I have never allowed MS to modify my dashboard or to auto update my dashboard.   Is any lawyer on the list who can point me to the right paragraphs? I do not believe this computer sabotage is legal in any european country.   Yours, Stefan Esser   --   --------------------------------------------------------------------------  Stefan Esser                                        [EMAIL PROTECTED]  e-matters Security                         http://security.e-matters.de/    GPG-Key                gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 0xCF6CAE69  Key fingerprint       B418 B290 ACC0 C8E5 8292  8B72 D6B0 7704 CF6C AE69 --------------------------------------------------------------------------  Did I help you?
