I really like Microsoft. Vista works fine for me, no complaints. Its faster than XP (to be fair i have a new computer) and haven't had a problem.

Xbox is a great system now. Sure when it first came out it had RRoD but that seems to be a thing of the past except for the occasional case.

Theres lots of great games, not so much exclusives, but they get all the multi-plats plus they buy exclusives.

Personnaly, has a programmer, I like Microsoft. I think the programmers they have and their work is great. Yeah, sometimes it's faulty, but guys.. it's really hard to create a bug free program, think about an entire OS. And everyone complains about Vista. Why? I use it and it works great, I would never go back to XP. Most of the problems comes from the person in front of the monitor.

 hey,,,ignorant''ms'' hater ,..know something called dreamcast?

Because hating Microsoft is cool and makes people on TEH INTERWEBZ THINK UR COOL TOO! And thats what matters, right? Fitting in with everyone else on teh interwebz! What actually really kind of annoys me is how people refer to a company names Emdollarsign when talking about microsoft...it really makes them look like asses. And to a degree idiots, such I can;t remember a company existing with that name :/

I know you mean RROD but dude......the R isn't even close to the P on a keyboard, or the PS3 screen (which I'm assuming you're using)

heh, you've obviously not had much experience with technology, seeing as how nearly every company EVER has had a product that is faulty.

And no Vista isn't faulty, it's no XP, but it's not broken or anything, you just don't like that it's now different (I wasn't a fan either, but I'm not going to hate on a company just for that).

The reason why MS is hated is because it brought competition to the gaming industry, it could even be argued that the Wii's current success can be somewhat linked to the 360, because now it's no longer "Playstation with all 3rd party games VS Nintendo with Nintendo games". Now people could choose between 2 consoles with nearly identical lineups and/or Nintendo's console. (Of course, Nintendo did a lot of the work themselves).

I think that's what Playstation fanboys are afraid of, that they'll never see another winning generation because Sony are the champions of copying other peoples ideas, so they'll continue to copy MS and Nintendo (and MS will do the same of course). So in a two horse race, by running with things that were brought in by someone else and perfecting them (Sony's strategy since the dawn of time), Sony was the leader (by being the follower). Now in a 3 horse race, Sony was forced to innovate and what we got was blu-ray and far from perfect motion sensing.

Next generation will show which company is truly leading the industry forward.

I was faster than you on that one lol :D

Wasn't this discussed in another thread (one I think you were in btw), and it was shown that the Microsoft logo does indeed have a dollar sign in it outside the Microsoft building? I believe this was the one:

Microsoft Rocks
