Xbox Live Blocks Other Competitors OS Name Handles


Microsoft has put barriers up to prevent people from promoting competing OS on their Xbox Live accounts. When ever users try to create handles with the name Linux or Unix, they are met with Your motto contains inappropriate language. Please try again.”

I find this rather humorous because there have been other more inappropriate things to show up on Xbox Live that has gone unnoticed. I think they need to be more concerned about more important things than someone with a handle of 'Unix boy' or 'Linux Larry'.
