Microsoft - Yes
The Xbox Brand - No
While the 360 improved by leaps and bounds over the original Xbox in terms of games, 3rd party support, online capability, graphics, install base (for added community)...I still feel like the hardware failures made the 360 somewhat of a letdown for me. I used to have a 360 and after it broke for the 3rd time (2nd due to RRoD) I decided to come crawling back to Sony. I think if the Next Xbox is as good as the 360 (with the standard power/graphical improvements) and without the hardware failures...then they'll have earned my respect.
Since the title just says microsoft though then yeah they have my respect. I've been using MS operating systems since Windows 98 on my computer and I plan on upgrading to Windows 7 some day.
I'll do a signature later
