Windows Vista is great now that they patched in 1000x times. Windows 7 however is looking to be a must buy. It uses less resources and runs VERY smoothly on low specs, Windows 7 if MS doesn't screw up the release will probably be their best OS ever.
The Zune is on level with the IPod, I like the FM ability and the sound quality is better.
XBox was inferior to the PS2, but this round they are beating the PS3 in terms of game variety. They just need to work on their hardware.
Bill Gates donates a lot of money and his time to charity. He is a good man and a Icon in this industry.
Microsoft like every other company has screwed up before, but overall they are a great company and have learned from their mistakes. RROD is the only thing I have not been able to forgive them for (yet).
Go MS!
Also for those that dislike MS/hate Windows, I challenge you to go out and buy a Mac and run on Linux. You can't fight the power by simply crying about it. Do something about it.
It's just that simple.
