Beats me. Fact is, Nintendo and Sony have both equally done many stupid things when it comes to their respective markets, yet most (not all, mind you) fail to recognize that corporations exist to make money, and will do whatever they can to have profitability.

Yet despite this, the majority of issues with MS, from what I've seen, are rather idiotic, and created by companies that are fusterated that they can't get on their own money train because they were too stupid to innovate like Microsoft has.

And for those whining that MS does crazy stuff to ensure competitors can't do well: uhhh...What company doesn't? That's the competitive nature of business. The best products usually win. Look at how big OpenOffice.org has become over the past few years with their suite of office products....Pretty good, no?

And I'd love to see Bill Gates vs. Nintendo & Sony when it comes to charitable giving.

the reason i dislike microsoft isn't because "nintendo/sony can't get on their own money train because they were too stupid to innovate like Microsoft has." (btw thats a load of BS" we're not upset BECAUSE they do things to do better but HOW they do things to do better. for example, if i want my company to do better i would try and MAKE my company better. i would do my best to make my product as good as it could be and hopefully it would be better than the competition. now what microsoft does when it wants to make itself better is look at what the competition has and throws money at it until the other company doesnt have it and microsoft does. thats worse than copying because when you copy its usually not as good as the original but this is literally taking the other competions good ideas. examples of this are micro$oft buying rare depriving nintendo of one of their greatest franchises and gta4 and fallout exclusive content.
