Yep MS wants your money and Sony doesnt, MS is out to make you sad, sony is only out to make you happy, get with the program people! Sony = God and would never be out to do you wrong or be only in it for the money as they care about you!!. Also Sony never only got into the Console Side of things cos of Nintendo they where planning on making the PS1 all along!!!.


Partially true...

Sony had all intentions of taking Nintendo's marketshare from under their noses and become the console leader. This was evident in the contract drawn up that all CD media produced for the SNES CD could only be licensed from Sony, and not Nintendo. This caused Nintendo to move over to Philips, and Sony was SERIOUSLY reconsidering entering the market, especially with examples of consoles from other electronic makers that didn't sell too well. The executives (eventually) decided to go it alone, and their success came not only from the experience from working with Nintendo, but the vast amount of market research they were willing to pay for...

Oh we've got an MS fanboy here. You guys are rare in real life but frequent online, I see. Noone wants their shitty support other than making their programs compatible! I have worked as a programmer, and Believe me,it takes extra effort to make it incompatible with Windows XP. So they are taking EXTRA EFFORT AND STEPS TO MAKE SURE THEIR SOFTWARE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH XP. That is evil, my friend!

Please do not advocate otherwise, you will just be revealing your MS Tag.

Actually it's the opposite case now. Unless you cater for backward compatibility, it WONT be. Frameworks are now designed for Windows Vista/7 optimisation in mind, and it makes sense. After all, why cater for an 11-12 year old OS at the expense of efficiency or features on the new OS?

 

It's called progress....

all because they are trying to sustain their "desktop / business hegemony", that's all. If there were no playstation, there would be no xbox! No iphone and android would mean no windows Phone! (please don't tell me about the half baked windows mobile! They were never serious about those endeavors!)


If there was no Nintendo/Sega would there be Playstation? If there was no BlackBerry would there be Andriod phones or iPhones?

YEAH GUYS BEWARE MS FOR NOT SUPPORTING A 10 YEAR OLD OPERATING SYSTEM! We should probably beware Sony in that case too because I haven't received any support for my PS1 in ages.

That is the exact point. I think this guy has more problems with his own live than he actually has with Microsoft. He seems to live in a different world.

Reported with the following complaint:

"This is the OP to a thread of almost manic trolling and tragic thought processes. The guy needs help, but first he needs to be banned and this thread locked. I'm staggered it hasn't already happened. Shall I make a similar Nintendo or Sony thread and see how long I last?"

heheheh, that's a good one!! good to see you are finally lightening up a bit

 

...oh, wait you really sent this didn't you?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
