Damn mm, you sure make it your duty to bash Microsoft.  Are you Bill Gate\'s illegitimate son or something?  You seem to hate Microsoft like Billy skipped a child support payment or whatnot.
When all is said and done...the PS2 will be remembered as the console with the best games in Fall 2001.

Hmm, if you hate MS so bad then why use any of their products. It just seems to make sense to boycott and try to put them out of business.
