Microsoft won't use PlayStation Home, will keep meetings boring
Despite taking part in a cost-saving virtual conferencing initiative, Microsoft has told CVG that it will not be using PlayStation Home to facilitate cheaper, virtual meetings. The company insisted that it had access to everything -- including Live Meeting and Xbox Live's party system -- needed to "host a virtual meeting in-house" ... and not in Home.

"Come on, do the robot with me!"
"Oh yeah, doin' the robot! Damn, Joan, how big are your measurements, 'cos they do not compute."
"Ugh ... why do men become cretins in Home? Also, it's not Joan. It's Joe."
"As in Joe-Ann or OH CRAP YOU'VE SUDDENLY BECOME A HIDEOUS AND UNDESIRABLE MAN!"
