Strange thing is - this city is the hub of many IT companies, so gossip is often juicy - there is talk that someone high up in Ms has got a bright idea (not necessarily from here, just in the zeitgeist). Something to do with the "evolving" age profile of XBox users. Actually, when you think about it, it's not a bad idea at all. And the prospects are beguiling: HaloTrainz. I mean, why shouldn't there be war scenarios in Trainz/HaloTrainz?

This rumor seems to come up about once a year. I'm starting to believe this might have some weight behind it.....

Oh, wait- it's the 2nd now - never mind....

This might explain why he resigned from Microsoft.
