trash like everything else Microsoft touches? Why do you think Nokia is expected to be bankrupt in about 2 years, Microsoft is involved. Why do you think Bungie was reduced to a single game series that constantly got worse? Microsoft was involved. The number of PC RTS games declined Microsoft was involved. Some PC games are bogged down by horrid software, Microsoft is still involved. Even internet standards were dying till Internet Explorer had competition.
Seriously, unless it's an operating system or the Xbox console itself, everything Microsoft touches rots away at its core. And unfortunately I'm telling the truth, Microsoft has a very bad history of destroying companies. No idea why it happens, just does. And if anyone here start a company and Microsoft wants to purchase assets or sign a deal, file bankruptcy immediately.
