Oh Please. You really think you know what happens in the office at Microsoft? You are making assuming just as much as you accuse me of it. How arrogant can anyone get? Drop the ego and just think.
(Yeah I know, you'll probable ban me and erase this post. Your ego probable couldn't do otherwise.)
My "ego" is quite under control, thank you.
Your ignorance precedes you. This has nothing to do with microsoft. But to answer your falsely placed assumption, yes, I do infact know of some goings within Microsoft.
It is not Microsoft we speak of though.
I am only responding to you to prevent more trolls from swarming the thread. Please understand that the information im sharing with you is insightful. Read, and learn a little instead of thinking inside your tiny box.
The vendor's that supply Microsoft with hardware are under contract. They win bids, in accordance to specifications to provide X. In this scenario, LiteOn has won a contract with microsoft to provide optical media. They are under contract to provide securities for the hardware outside of the norm. For this, they work very closely with MTK to provide technologies (hardware/software) that are secure.
While Microsoft is certainly part of the process, it is not nearly as much as you (and likely the rest of the world) thinks.
How do you (and by you, i mean most of the 'innocents' here) think that we defeat these technologies?
Team HyperX is not comprised of dungeon nerds who trade off between assembly and world of warcraft in all of their spare time. No, the majority of members are *industry* professionals, who work dilligently in their spare time between work and family. I will make no claims of who works for what. I will not say anyone is a 'insider'.
Rome was not defeated by the enemy if you will recall.Well, these technologies require people familiar with the technology.
People involved with the technology understand how technology is implemented, both in theory and infrastructure. This is not only technology, it is BUSINESS. Most professionals who are not involved in this scene, but have a firm grasp of *business* would be able to surmise the actions of MTK/LiteOn aswell as anyone with firm knowledge. It is common sense when you familiarize yourself with it.
Strategy is not difficult to ascertain in this industry. We knew what the next wave of hardware would contain. We surmised what they would attempt to block before the LiteOn ixtreme was even public. Such is the way of professionals who understand the industry.
Now, i would appreciate if you, or anyone else who thinks they are king of the mountain, step down a little and not throw your ignorant trash at this thread. It is not me who has the ego issue, but you, and your like to presume you know the goings of things that you obviously dont have a clue about. Of course, if you persist, I WILL delete your posts, but for the plain reason that your trash does not belong in this thread, and nothing else.
