Microsoft: difference between cheat, exploit? None. Banned!

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has begun issuing temporary bans 
| to players taking advantage of an exploit 
| in Modern Warfare 2, while Infinity Ward 
| works on a patch to fix the issue. While 
| the servers may be kept slightly cleaner 
| for the efforts, the amount of control 
| Microsoft holds over owners of their 
| consoles, and the arbitrary way they are 
| able to wield it, is troubling.
