Why when Microsoft buy stuff it's a Monopoly, but it's ok for Google, Activision, & EA to buy everyone an their mom

Because it's cool to hate on Microsoft... plus it's a well known fact that Google and Apple shit gold.

Google's products are open source, and free, AND FUNCTION CORRECTLY. Seriously I'd rather download AIM than use WIndows Live.

true enough about Google products, and that is why I dont necessarily dislike them as a company but I do dislike how many people believe they can do no wrong and treat them as 'the little guy'... I do however greately dislike Apple. I just don't personally understand where much of this 'Microsoft are big bad' sentiment comes from, as from my experience they have always provided a solid service which holds true for all my friends too.

 

@ AussieGecko I was just going by my admittedly limited knowledge of Microsoft partnerships in the telecommunications business, although I had noticed that many of Microsoft demonstrations involve a Samsung TV or Phone etc...
