Wow this is terrible news for Xbox 360 owners. Microsoft says all 11.6 million units potentially could be faulty. Sony sues the company that designed its rootkit. Japan wants an open document standard.

Open Document Format Alliance (ODF) managing director Marino Marcich thinks the move's a step in the right direction for the rest of the world, Japan being a shining example. "By giving preference to open software formats such as ODF, it is saying that information should be comparitively priced and easily available to the widest range of people, now in the future."
