What a guy.

On a more serious note though, I wonder what this means for the future of the brand.

Sadly... I think they'll rebound from this more than they ought to, and they'll go for it again when they think they can. But maybe this time they'll kiss us before they try to fuck us. (And by "us" I mean anyone who is gullible enough to buy anything from them again after this. I'm done with them, permanent like.)

They need to do some serious reorganization of their leadership, and not just their xbox division.  The company has been coasting for far too long and dont seem to have the ability to identify consumer desires anymore, or at least the ability to anticipate them.

that being said, I think Microsoft can change.  They definitely need some new blood and a new direction, and hopefully they will realize that.  Basically, dont write them off yet, they can still change and become better.

Thats what happens when you have a bloodsucking businessman at the head of a tech company. They need someone who actually understands the tech world at the head of their company. Until then they will continue to fail and fall behind. Balmer has to go, he has created a culture in microsoft that is anti-progress. The only thing he is good at is making back door deals with his golf buddies. He only thinks about his big money partners, hes incapable of viewing anything from a consumer perspective.
