I wonder if mosquitoes are banned.

That was one of the funniest and strangest things I've ever seen Gates do.

Yeah yeah, everyone has iPods and no one has Zunes.  And that's too bad, because the Zune is so much better.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

I agree.
Zune are much better than iPods.

But you cannot stop a mainstream trend... so the Zune will always stay behing and only be bought by informed people.

Zune, I like you.

It reminds me of an article I've read a while back about Microsoft employees who had to hide their iPods because they were banned. They would buy new earphones to replace the white ones that are associated with the iPod

Every iPod owner should do that, those earphones are bad, bad.

I bought an iMac G4 ages ago, it was expensive, always hanging up for no reason and got stuck with a stylish bookstand since they kept saying it was fine.

well they are banned from my house too.... iPhone is piece of shit everybody with such thing as brain knows that every god damn benchmark and reports out there tell you so... but the entire brand went north anyway.... the iPod line is nice but a pure rip off.... i'll find you a hand full of product better and cheaper... or just way better eg archos 7.... and there PC line is a joke... anybody stupid enough to put that much money in that should be thrown in a well... people don't realise that now they are running on intel processor the tech inside is almost if not absolutely indentical to any other brand.... and when it comes to the OS.... well in my opinion it's a piece of crap made for newbies that don't know how to use a computer... it's like the playmobile of computer... yeah it's stable... but you have absolutely no power over the system even compare to MS windows... and well yeah the design look nice... but looking in the future win 7 seems to hold the right end of the stick this time... anyway nothing out there will bit a PC running on linux for the price...so yeah I was saying the apple is ban from my house... hell i even had my fahter get rid of his iPhone and macbook...
but don't forget microsoft has an entire department developing software for apple so they do have in there....and remember MS has like 9% of the shares of apple if i recall...

 

Isn't that what an operating system should be like? as long as it works well what does it matter that its easier to use???

Also you need to stop caring so much about your hatred of Apple, what does it matter if someone chooses to use a Mac over a PC? how does it effect you in the slightest?!?

tbh Bill Gates comes across as a control freak and a bully so not surprising really.....
