Microsoft kills off the Xbox 360
The European Union’s European Commission is charging Google with violation of antitrust laws, resembling what Microsoft had to go through. On the other side, Microsoft happens to be suing the United States Department of Justice over secrecy orders. Microsoft announces they have stopped creating Xbox 360 consoles, firmware updates come to Surface Book/Pro, Intel restructures to reduce its workforce, and more.
