I hate M$ cuz they are slimy lil bastards who snuck their way into the game indusry and while i acknowldege their contributions to gaming usally all they do is throw their money aroung to steal games and wrangle exclusive agreements all o hurt Sony. Its ridiculous they would accomplish so much more if they travelled their own path instead of constantly tying to black the competition. RROD also royally pissed me off!

I think Bill gates is a wonderful man he is a philantrhopists nad has made generaous donations to a hospital where i frequent. However Bil gates is no longer a major part of M$ and even if hew was it wouldn't chaneg how i feel about them plus VISTA SUX ASS.

Vent over.

LOL!!!!

They've been involved in gaming longer than Sony has... Hell the architecture on whichever system is your beloved is ONLY possible due to their contributions to gaming...

Have you heard of Direct x 1-11? Its developed between AMD - Nvidia - Microsoft and Intel mostly as a unifying standard. Without it, the GPUs in the consoles would be little more than a pipe dream, they helped markedly increase the rate of innovation for the GPU industry by setting a standard and helping everyone get on board towards the same goal.

 

 

   Have you ever heard of Open GL?  It existed BEFORE Direct 3D/DirectX and is in pretty much every way superior.  The only reason Direct X exists is so M$ could have a proprietary system in place to force you to use Windows.  It's very easy to port Open GL games to other platforms (both game systems like the Wii and PS3 which use Open GL and other OSes like Linux and the Mac which use Open GL) and M$ doesn't want that so they push their inferior proprietary dev kit hard.  Ask any of the best developers about Direct X like the guys at ID; they almost universally say its crap compared to Open GL and many refuse to work with it even though MS tries to push them really hard towards Direct X for everything.  Direct X, like Internet Explorer, like wma...like all the inferior "standards" they try to push is not really a standard but a method for further solidifying the windows monopoly.

   That direct X is in any way a "unifying standard" is complete crap.  It's the one major roadblock in front of almost all windows programs and games running on Linux and OSX through wine and thats the way M$ likes it.

 

   My other arguments for why I hate Microsoft are similarly complex and involved.  Instead I have provided below a video that sums up all that is wrong with Microsoft and after seeing it I would bet you completely will understand my position no matter how big a fanboy you are.
