And as much unrealistically, MS thinks it could become again bigger than Apple and as much control freak on users keeping on being as sloppy as it is, because the bloody specifications mess it uses to keep monopoly on PC OS and office suite can't be defined anything else than sloppy, lazy and cowardly (luckily at least OS monopoly has been broken by marginalization of PC outside of office and power gaming market and the rise amongst casual users of mobile market with the Apple-Android duopoly). |
Yeah a lot of guys didn't get to experience a lot of the shitshow that microsoft was in 2000 (and in certain areas still are), the Windows OSes were a complete mess, the monopoly they formed with intel on the desktop PC market at the time didn't help the developement of PC's due to Pentium processors being ass, Office and a lot of the software of microsoft was in reality made up of stitched programs and patches they bought or acquired of others and at times ended up bloating the package, they basically have run a lot of things to extintion like the Visual Basic programming languague, hotmail.com etc, and in gaming isn't that what has happened to a degree to some of their acquisitions? And as others have said i also knew lots of people that bought 2 or 3 Xbox360's due to getting the RROD, but i guess there are still people that have the opinion that Nintendo should have sold their properties instead of using unpowered hardware, because microsoft can take the hit of selling consoles at loss even if said consoles were prone to fail.
