However, people who hate MS gaming and Xbox division only hate it because it has changed teh gaming industry
I don't really like MS in the gaming world either. I think the 360 and especially its interface is ugly, I hate the "do it as cheap as possible and charge for everything else" approach and I would never buy a product with its failure rate (even if its better now) NEVER. I like shiny, cool quality products and that's the complete opposite of MS. MS is functional with many features but shoddy.
However I love them for bringing many PC developers into the console world. PC games have always been far superior to console games and now all the great PC developers (with the exception of Blizzard) are developing for consoles. And MS played a big part in this. I acknowledge that. They also managed to make a device that's at least almost as good for gaming (however lacking as media center) as the PS3 for much less money and they did this a year earlier. That's cool. And they brought many PC online features like Chat, friends etc. to the console world forcing Sony to come along. That's also cool. The games and the functionality are awesome. Now if they would be the tiniest bit cool I would even have bought a 360 instead of a PS3.
