Microsoft's Peter Moore is in attack mode. He is out for blood, comparing the current situation at Sony to his Dreamcast days at Sega, saying, "I've walked a mile in those shoes. I'm digging up my tortured past here, but remember Dreamcast? We thought we were doing right. All of a sudden it didn't pan out." The jabs at Sony don't end there. Oh, no. Besides Dreamcasting the PS3 console, Moore has it in for PlayStation Home. And not just Home, but hanging out in home:

Four years ago, we looked at the concept of a lounge where your avatar could wander around... But it was not something that we felt worth pursuing... The concept of hanging out was something that, while we looked at it, we just didn't think was something that our users wanted to do... We may be proven wrong. It may be proven that people want their 3D avatars to hang out with each other. But we made the decision that, right now, it's about navigation and communication. We just think people want to communicate, they want to play games, they want to download movies, they want to listen to music. We're not sure they want to hang around.

Bwah? Brian Ashcraft
