Microsoft routes around its own COICA damage

摘要

WellL, Who would have guessed? A big "thank you" to Microsoft is in order. Just one week after I chose Microsoft as the recipientrnof this year's Gibbs Golden Turkey Award for being all heavy-handed and &∧%$ish about hackers creating open-source drivers for Microsoft's Kinect controller, the company goes and reverses its position.rnAfter the hack, Microsoft said it was going to "work closely with law enforcement and product-safety groups to keep Kinect tamper-resistant," which sounded pretty threatening. But when CNN interviewed two Microsofties after the incident and asked, "So no one is going to get in trouble?" The reply was, "Nope. Absolutely not."
