I find that Microsoft is one of those huge companies that's notorious for taking, taking, taking, taking... and never giving >_>
They seem to put out the shittiest products time and time again, and it's completely obvious that they're a "HOLY SHIT THAT'S BIG, ME TOO" company... They're a company that doesn't seem to focus on it's own gains, more or less just misfortune to others. I just get really bad mojo from them.
The Zune sucked ass, more or less an attempt to cash in on the iPod market.
The original Xbox was made to cash in on the video game industry, (they have almost 0 history in hardware)
The obvious anti-trust lawsuits and they're blatant disregard for monopoly laws.
The product they're known for blows ass >_>; Window's is the only OS around, and it's clearly not because it's superior. It's a piece and we all know it.
To me, they're just not a company worth having any interest in, they're worth a ton because they know how to make money, and that's money I don't personally thing they've made with honest integrity.
If they had expanded the software side of the video game industry, bought out more gaming studio's, put they're oodles of cash into great titles, and become a fantastic publisher of titles, I'd be much more lenient with them. But instead, they put out shoddy hardware, nickel and dime you for ever last thing they can, and generally don't contribute much (imo) to the industry. When Microsoft's press conference announced that they've generated 1 billion dollars in revenue from xbox live gold subscribers, I wiped a tear of disgust from my eye -_- I've definitely got a large dose of bias against Microsoft, I don't really like anything they do, I'm not so blind as to say that the 360's got no decent games, but none of that is due to microsoft >_> their console sucks ;/
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.
