Fake Xbox 'emulator' hiding Trojan horse removed | |
|
||
| Time: 14:18 EST/19:18 GMT | News Source: IDG | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
The Web page distributing an emulator promising users they could play Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox games on their PCs has been pulled offline after discovery that it contained a Trojan horse program designed to generate money based on online ad hits. Thousands of copies of the ersatz emulator may still be circulating on the Internet. The emulator had been distributed from a free Web site account hosted by Angelfire, a company owned by Lycos Inc. The site has been removed from the Web by Angelfire for violating the company's terms of service, according to a notice posted on the site. | ||

| Great. Thanks for the useless information that nobody cares about. I'm glad that Anonymous users can post such great information. |

Here are some figures for all you people saying the XBox is doing poorly.

| #4, I think your own figures prove just the opposite! That 12 and 42 just prove that M$ is a horrible monopoly and they will never do well in this market! DIE M$!!! |

| I thought horrible monopolies (at least this one) always do well no matter what market they persue because of their desire to dump highly-demanded, useful, integrated products onto their naieve, sheep-like, customer base. :-) |

Japan is not a particularly open market. The "Buy Japanese" attitude still pervades it's economy and foreign products have a very very difficult time selling there. If anybody thinks it is a surprise that the Japanese have not been receptive to the XBox, then they clearly have not paid attention to the reports of the countries barriers to trade over the past 50 years and most notably just the past 5.
Anyway, success in Japan is irrelevant. Far more important are the open markets in the US and Europe. The E3 convention this next week will introduce the public to many of the new games which will be appearing on the XBox for this year's christmas season. If id Software releases Doom III for the XBox, that'll be all she wrote for the PS2. |
