[QUOTE]
We sat down this week with Marc Whitten, the general manager of Xbox Live, to catch up on the latest with the service at the Streaming Media West show.

* VB: There were stories that talked about how Microsoft knocked out a lot of modders from Xbox Live. I recall that early on there were maybe 1 or 2 percent of the people who were using modded machines. Why would there be such a large number now? One report said it was a million modders knocked out.

* MW: It's a cat and mouse game. These were people that were pirating software. We try to keep sanctity of life from a safety and anti-cheating perspective and we protect our partners. We didn't release the number. I cannot explain to you why people would think it was a million people. It wasn't a million people. Check the veracity of that claim. It was one news source. I think we do a really good job understanding what people are doing on the system. That applies to intellectual property (piracy) and how we treat the community in terms of harassment. We are committed to making it better and better.

It's important and useful because 1 million was an extreme unrealistic amount. i would guess it's closer to 500,000 if that.....good find

he just said that to piss us off and make us even more confused.
he didn't even say if it's more than a million or less than a million.
i bet it's like 1 million and 2 people.
and him saying it's not 1 million is technically correct because 1 million 2 is not 1 million.
