even though some of you might be surprise, MS is not the evil company you might think.

no... but i know a few that do/have.

I'm not overly protective of MS either, I just hate the false bullshit that gets thrown around.  MS = Evil, Sony = Good.  It's just bollocks mainly thrown around by teenage fanboys that dont know the first thing about business or life.

well whoever thinks there is an evil or good company is wrong.

right or wrong , left or right, sun or moon, in the end they all want your money

same here.

MS is attacked from left and right and most of the time they are totally wrong. Sure MS does make some mistakes (like RRoD) but people forget that they really created a lot of great things. People say MS is the one company that wants all your money, copies and loves to destroy competition. A lot of people forgot that they really saved Apple. Apple was broke, the company would not exist today without the help of MS. That is the reason why I am not a fan of the ads Apple is airing contra the PC and not pro Mac. Never forget where you are coming from.

A lot of cyber Che Guevaras just hate on MS, because they don't know better. MS wants to make money, but somehow this is a bad thing for MS and okay for every other company.

Look, this video will make some people think MS is a bad employer, but the reality is totally different. MS is one or the best employer you can imagine. Just check the links I posted. This is what I really don't like. I don't buy products because there is a MS brand on it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Not again....

Microsoft DID not "SAVE" Apple.

===

 

This piece of misinformation comes around from time to time. This was in fact a part of settlement agreement due to Microsoft "borrowing" some code from quicktime and a long standing patent lawsuit on that issue.

The "mistake" was stealing the code that lead to this event, not the token $150M investment itself.

And you know it would be wonderful because?  Jobs in the videogame industry are not what they are cracked up to be, or what you expect.  All the fun you experience on consumer end is not what making it is about, particularly in the corporate offices (this is what it is like working for Sony). Of course, if you are a fanboy, you would think it is awesome, because you are close to that which you worship.  But it isn't what it is like.  Sony, for one thing, is a large corporation, and working for them can be anything from being a receptionist, to a lawyer, to an accountant, to a game developer.
