last year,microsoft where fined 1.3 billion by the european union, for failing to stand buy a court order from 2004 that they had abused there market dominance, bringing the total fine to 2.5 billion, guess what, MS shrugged it off like they will with this one, 2.5 billion would have broken sonys back cos they are only worth 17.2 billion with 124 billion in assests (MS is actually worth 143 billion with 65 billion in assets)

MS uses XBL money to handle that kind of stuff.

I think it's more likely that he genuinely didn't know how to link. It's not like he would be the first poster on SW not to know.
