there were patent issues, but you have to be a fool to think MS did not save apple. 150m dollar investment and offering office on a Mac (!!! That is like publishing Halo on the PS3, just bigger.) is far more than Apple could have ever got out of this patent-stuff.  Even today it would hurt Apple if MS says they won't publish any Office software on the mac from now on.

check this vid. You can hear how Steve Jobs knows that MS just saved them.

to working in a sweaty factory in Taiwan/China putting together hardware for minimum wages.

actually no it is not based on my love for a games machine and for your information i know a lot more about Microsoft than you, after all i did study computers and one of the first things they first taught us was the great deception of bill gates, you do know they orignally stole their ideas from IBM right, and they love to bully others out of competition, no my attitudes go on morals alone, microsoft it's fine to be a business, just play fair not dirty.

oh by the way people get it right I am a programmer lolz.

awaiting my ban after this.. oh well may i just say bye to all my friends yes u know who you are lol.

that was amazing hahaa

yeah right my bottom^^ i call BS you don't even know what you're going on about most of the time

and how exactly experienced do you think i am does 2 years of professional programming count hmm let me think, uh yes, the fact i can stick it for long not only proves my talent, it also proves you are full of BS as usual, did i mention i have a HND In computing Microsoft are not as innocent as you think.

I already know for a fact I am not experienced enough to work for sony as a programmer, so shut up already, biut that does not stop me from doing my own projects (programming wise).

Edit: what exactly did you study in computers let me guess, the dummies guide to loving MS lol

I was really hoping this conversation would go into why someone would want to work at SONY vs. MS... but it turned into weird rants back and forth. I'm not sure why MS not being innocent has to do with working there... do they steal from their employees and fire them or something? And it seems like MS is always in the news with lawsuits against them so it's not like they get away with it when they do.

I would have thought a place like Google is a dream job for a programmer from what I've heard.

I was just explaining their morals are all wrong I could not work for a company like that.
I used to work for a company that always used to love treating their employee's like rubbish, i stuck it for two years, but after that i left because i did not agree with their morals, all the guys that used to work there worked so hard, and yet got treated so badly.. It was so funny they actually begged me to stay, that's how good I was lol
mmm yes i know about google, unlucky for me they are recruiting in other countries.

You is some super sleuff and I vote you for the next Sherlock movie sod Downey.

it was meant to be a joke lolz. I will thank you for not reporting me, but I am sure I will be banned sooner or later now.. oh well.
you really did not get the dummies part did you?? (they are famous books written for people who know nothing about certain subjects;);))

@ jneul
You really are making yourself sound silly now....
