Doesn't mean XB and MS as gaming platform and maker are going anywhere quiet the contrary they are gearing up for the new era where the L ne between platforms blends more and more and where the content is and should be available anywhere any time.... No matter how people diss MS and talk shit about them in every field most of the time they have been,pioneering technological advances both in software hardware for the past decades and it has been proven time and again by their incredible financial results year after year and their incredible and almost unmatched stability in the distance.... Flip as you'd like MS is a stellar company than many companies have tried to match and very few have succeeded and none have hold the distance so far... |
How innocent...
The reason why MS have good financial results and has become the overblown behemoth it is, is because it has operated in a vacuum. A monopoly that they have operated for two and a half decades now.
They were brought to the supreme court by a collection of states in "USA vs Microsoft corp", here I provide a quote from Judge Jackson (the presiding judge)
"Microsoft's conduct itself was the cause of any "perceived bias"; Microsoft executives had, according to him, "proved, time and time again, to be inaccurate, misleading, evasive, and transparently false. ... Microsoft is a company with an institutional disdain for both the truth and for rules of law that lesser entities must respect. It is also a company whose senior management is not averse to offering specious testimony to support spurious defenses to claims of its wrongdoing."
Their corporate culture is a disgrace and anyone supporting their activities should question their own moral compass.
Mods... please note that all the above are facts, followed by a relatively natural point of view given the behaviour of the company in question.
