Youths released a few weeks ago a tool for unlocking (jailbreaking) Cell Phone with Windows 7. Chevronwp called and basically allows instslación unofficial programs or supplied from the Microsoft store. And the company, instead of sending their lawyers, called to negotiate the opening of the operating system to the installation of domestic applications (homebrew).Microsoft has not made any announcements, but young people are explaining the evolution of the negotiations on your own site. The agreement, which does not give the details, would be that Microsoft would update the operating system to disable the above tool, but would create its own option to unlock.
The choice of Microsoft is based on avoiding a losing battle against the release and control to the extent permitted. As explained above youth, working with Microsoft to define a solution soon announce the details of Microsoft's initiative is consistent with the U.S. legal framework where the release is legal under certain circumstances.
Obviously, in any case support the release, such as a console to install pirated copies of games. The jailbreaking of an appliance is possible to install an application is not pirated or to facilitate interoperability. Apple opposed it claiming that the official approval of the applications had a clear reason: to ensure the technical safety of equipment and avoid installing malicious applications.
However, Apple disabled the system that detects if a cell phone had been unlocked to use applications not certified by Apple. The release of game consoles and mobile is a widespread practice. The most striking case was that of Kinect, gestural controller for the Xbox, which has been unlocked for use on computers which enables a host of innovations planned and that Microsoft also hopes to capitalize.
It is likely that the next Windows will also allow the gestural control. For consoles, Sony has a long legal battle against the release because, he claims, is not used primarily for the enjoyment of programs not supported by default but for the installation of pirated copies of games.
