The agreement further gives Microsoft authority to "retrieve information from the Xbox used to log onto Xbox Live as necessary to operate and protect the security of Xbox Live and to enforce this agreement."

at least this type of spyware is to protect the "integrity" of the "online gaming experience" offered by xbox live.
same shit, different pile. As long as it really stops moders from causing damage, i'm ok with it.
in theory, xbox is a computer... computers have viruses, therefore xbox can theoretically get a virus.. think about it and u'll see where i'm going with this
yeah this has been out for a while, first game of its kind to have this embedded, and microsoft said not the last.

I can't stand microsoft...it's still evil of them to use spyware to try and ban the few haXx0rs who even know how to do it. Not mention all of the other bulls**t that they do in their OS and various applications that they make
