Just contact who you want to talk to and arrange an 'friends only game' game. Then just sit and talk. Presto free phone call!
Will the Australian courts side with Microsoft or will Microsoft win on blackmail charges? In any event these programmers probably have next to no money so theyll only get bankrupt by Microsoft.
Wouldnt travel to the US though if I were them!

Basically it will allow Linux and third party sofware like emulators and media players to run on the xbox.
the real info is at zdnet australia, use the links from the xboxlinux site.
I predict however that the Australian legal system will favour Free-X.
