i now don't own anything microsoft related, when i get my window'd laptops i just switch to ubuntu.
i just don't like windows. as a company im just not a fan of their Software.

but i can't deny how popular they are , and how to alot of people , microsoft = Online gaming + internet

is that called respect? or just common sense?

I would say that's a mix of both.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

I respect them for bringing Playstation franchise games to X360. More games to more people.

Even tho all companies scam non stop, after what microsoft did with windows 7, they have gained some respect from me. But until they have a console with less then 50% failure rate I will never fully respect them.

They earned my respect with Windows.

But yes, they have made a lot of contributions to gaming which are, unfortunately, overlooked because they don't involve new control schemes.

They had me at the EULA...

Tease.

Nope. I have always disliked MS though, as soon as I finish my graduate degree I will be getting an Apple in fact. I don't like the majority of the business tactics employed by MS among other things.

That being said, I don't respect them, but I do appreciate them adding competition to the market.

@Aion: Best console this gen in your opinion my friend, only in your opinion

Microsoft always had earn my respect... because of Internet explorer ;)
but the xbox360 made alot of people...kinda stupid and insulting everyone...but I still like the Xbox360... since there are some logical people who has a 360 and enjoys it, I might buy it though so people could stop insulting me...and get more games
