Do you have any backup for that statement? I was sitting a couple of chairs away from SimReality when a member of the XNA Zune team told us exactly what he put in his post. Now I'm sure this
could be part of the grand conspiracy as orchestrated by Bill Gates but unless you work for Microsoft wr you have a link that says otherwise then this
is the official answer right now.
The reason it restarts has nothing to do with memory. It's because they have to disable DRM while your game runs and then they reboot into the Zune OS so that the DRM works again.
