i dont understand why microsoft is hated so much when the majority of those haters, PIRATE their software...yeah windows is limited and IE is limited, and we have to succomb to microsofts monopoly, but were not paying for windows 2k or ME or XP..so why complain...it bothers me so much when people complain about free stuff.....and bossieman: if you actually buy microsofts products then you have everyright to complain, otherwise, save your hatred cause its not worth it...the xbox could be a kickass console meaning better games for us all to enjoy...
