Why do you Love/Hate Microsoft?

[Michael-5]

No fanboyism, no flaiming. I'm making 3 threads for all 3 home consoles.

Basically I want you to list your reasons for likeing and disliking Microsoft, and be specific towards gaming. I am going to tally the responses, and see what the biggest successes/issues Microsoft has. Try to be general, so I can combine your comment with others more easily.
