And Microsoft could sign third-party programs, like Winamp or the Platform, but it would be costly and time consuming. Google is working on stuff to this effect with Chrome OS and it will be legal. Maybe if it were voluntary, get a version of Windows that is 100% virus proof but you can only run Microsoft software.
Antitrust regulations would tear it apart. They'd never get away with doing that to Windows, e.g. And that's how it should be, but to do that the 360 has to disallow third-party code of any kind. I know it's there and it stops me from doing a couple things it shouldn't, but for the most part it doesn't get in the way of the 360 being a great platform (if a little heavy on the ads). I like the DRM on the Xbox 360 because it's transparent. Also, it'll need to phone home, so proxy settings might be an issue (but don't seem to be with any other net-connected app here).ĭRM doesn't have to be a bad thing.
It wouldn't be something open like text or even PDF, it'll be their own thing you won't be able to read with anything else. Seems like it shouldn't be hard to be made portable, all it probably does is register itself as the default handler for the file type. Amazon doesn't need to give permission if the portable version is just the launcher that downloads the app.
