Those of you with this attitude really need to be identified in real life.
Why? We're not dumb enough to use XBox Live or Skype. If you have a boot on your throat from Microsoft, it's because you happily chose to have that boot on your throat. No one's forcing you to use Skype or XBox Live (certainly not the latter; I guess you could make an argument for the former for business use, but even here, who cares? That's mostly your employer's problem, not yours, as long as you only discuss work-related stuff on Skype). Anyway, no one *needs* to play online console games, and there are plenty of alternatives to Skype these days, both Free and proprietary (the latter ones even work through your browser).
