Lol. Very misleading title and very misleading OP. Bless.

So he actually says he will support anything nadella wants to do but thinks spinning of xbox is extremely unlikely as it's core to their current strategy.

Excellent.


i changed the title, i used the title from the source i got it from and just posted it quick because i knew someone else would, and i was right about that since a second thread popped up 2 minutes after.  infact its been changed for like 10 minutes..   what have you been doing? 



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

And you'd rather keep the sensationalist tweet than the actual two paragraphs concerned? Ok, cool. 

its provided emediately undernieth,  if people are to busy hyperventilating because of the fox news tweet to read something that is virtually in view without even scrolling,  then i find that funny.    I see no need in redundancy.

Isn't that ironically what you did by making this thread? Posting without reading the source?

... the source for myself was only that tweet and a title from another forum.  i was never hyper ventilating, although i raced to try and beat others from making a thread that would surely be made.   that is quite different

 

do you know what irony means?

"busy hyperventilating over a fox news tweet"

Yup, I know what irony means. You're busy worrying about getting a thread more than the actual facts lol

LOL! the comments in here looked like the ones in my thread that got locked because of overly defensive individuals.

Anyway, if Gates didn't want the information spread like it was then he probably shouldn't have singled out a specific division that's been under fire with investors lately.

Yep I agree with that others have said here. It doesn't necessarily mean that Bill Gates is in favor of the spin off.

Either way Id rather not be hearing this. Xbox as its own company will need to profit consistently, that will put more pressure on Xbox and less leeway when it comes to deals and big exclusives etc.


while i agree mostly with its just him supporting the CEO,   Bill either needs to work on his PR or is getting sloppy in his old age because there are plenty of ways he could have said he would support Nadella, without saying "I'm absolutely for it" lol

If you read the comments from the other artcle he says that Xbox is part of MS's strategy...and in saying that i think Bill is against the move but would support the CEO without disagreement.

I dont see room for intepretation here, so the PR is fine

Something to also consider is that Bill Gates was instrumental in the inception of Xbox..he obviously had broader plans for it. Definitely not just to make money/profit as so many claim.

Sensational thread lol. Good job Jaywood shutting that shit.


It really wasnt that bad. I think people are overblowing it...we've seen far worse around here with intentions to rile people up.

I dont think that was the OP's intention.
