Thank you? Where did this become a compair operating systems thread? Besides, if you compaired XP to Vista at the same points in their lives, it would be virtually tied. XP had hundreds and hundreds of updates to get where it is today, Vista will get the same, and be the new XP to what ever the next MS Operating system is. I remember people whinning like bitches with skinned knees when XP came out, "This sucks! Im going back to 2000! Im going back to 98!!" But you are probably too young to remember that, so in your world I guess what you say makes sense.
OT: Sony has a far better brand image in peoples minds. They havnt been sued by the US Government or the European Union for Monopoly, they havnt been subject to negative press for their flagship product (Windows) and even their console didnt have to go through the horrible publicity of RROD. So on a pure consumer viewpoint standing, Sony wins.
Microsoft as going for it the fact that they pretty much have a peice of everything that runs this entire planet. Thats a pretty big point no?

Actually, I was using DOS on an 8088 for my first OS. XP came out my first year of college and I switched to it within the year with no problems. I have a dual boot of Vista and XP for reasons. K. Thanks.
But, yeah I agree with the rest of your post. In non-English speaking countries, MS really seems to be very taboo as a brand. While people on the Internet message boards know about Sony DRM practices in the past, there are much more people in the general public that know about MS and all of their scandals.

I realised what I said came off kind of mean, I didnt mean it that way. More like I assumed you have only delt with XP and Vista. I started on DOS-SHELL with my 086. Fun times. Anyways, XP ran like crap on my computer when I first got it, I formated and went back to 98. Now I have Vista and a computer that meets the reqs for it and am pretty happy. Just have to get used to finding everything in its new places.
I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"
"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"
"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
