| Mudface said: This is the PC forum, people are attacking Microsoft in this thread for their history of monopolistic, embrace-extend-extinguish behaviour in operating systems and other PC software. As far as I'm aware neither Sony nor Nintendo have done the same in the same area- if you know different then start a thread about them. Personally, I couldn't give a toss about the pathetic console fanboy wars on here and elsewhere- it's just insecure teenage wankers desperate to validate their own purchases. I'm a web applications programmer and PC gamer and use Microsoft software exclusively day-in, day-out. I wouldn't touch anything from Sony with a bargepole after the rootkit fiasco, and I think Nintendo have been very lucky to get away with a gimmick and re-releasing the same old set of franchises yet again. Yet even I can see how bad Microsoft have been in the past and why it's necessary to keep an eye on them in the future. |
Actually if I'm not mistaken Nintendo did some heinous shit back in the NES days... things that bordered on illegal then, but are really illegal now. I'm not going to be specific because it's been a very long time since I read about it, but I'm sure a quick google or Live Search will find some details.
