Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Robert Stein

A longtime Microsoft Corp opponent has emerged as the mystery backer and mastermind behind a contest that offers $200,000 to anyone who successfully hacks into the software giant's Xbox (news - web sites) video game console, a top technology news Web Site reported.

Michael Robertson, a former dot-com entrepreneur and now chief executive of U.S. software company Lindows.com, revealed himself as the anonymous donor and contest's creator in an interview on Thursday with CNET News.com. His identity was first revealed on SourceForge, a site where developers congregate to share tips on developing so-called open-source software projects.
