You can also add Michael Roberson to that list (LindowsOS).

Exactly right. However, those circles are huge, many, and the anti-MS sentiment runs deep. MS lackeys and neutrals can argue around the clock the dislike/distrust for Bill and his gang isn\'t justified but it won\'t change a thing. MS is the OJ Simpson of the computing industry in the public\'s eyes, with a whopping mind share dead set against owning any MS product they\'re not cornered into buying. No need to believe me, just watch the market share for xbox continue to shrink.

netscape was FAR superior to iE, untill m$ started stealing code and  copyrighting for themselves

then netscape was left in the dust

again, m$ = evil empire

try buying a PC from one of the big boys like dell, gateway, or compaq.  tell them you DO NOT want any operating system on there and you will be suprised the hassle you get

How come I find this as a smart business move on MS\'s part?

Am I wrong? If I could convince a business to steer people in my direction I would do it in a minute.

there\'s where we agree, my friend

it IS good, in fact, great business...........for M$ and noone else

like i said, m$ is keeping us in the dark ages of PC architecture for one reason.  to keep thier coffers filled.

Linux ownx0r j00!

It\'s just to bad it didn\'t come out in the early nineties when there were no other OS\'s on PCs.  What a shame, superior products don\'t always win the market, timing and money does that.

What is wrong with XBox hardware? It is built sturdy, using sturdy-feeling plastic and not toy-feeling platic like DC or GC. The cords are long and steel braided, the AV cords are gold plated for best picture quality, it has a harddrive, bba, DVD player with remote, best controller (controller S), etc. People who cry about XBox\'s hardware have never touched or seen whats in the box when you get it.

DVD player with remote

like thats revolutionary  

its too damn big, thats my beef, but hey, thats the american way

best controller, far from it

6 button genesis pad > xbox controller

I gotta agree with mm, the 6 button genny controller was awesome--only bested by the Sega Nights controller.  Ever.

It was great for , Lords Of Thunder and forgotten worlds. man how miss my Turbo 16. But yeah me was joking

I was talking about greatness of construction, not revolutionary stuff.

On controller, I meant of this generation. NOTHING beats the NiGHTS pad...NOTHING. Still the best pad for any type of console game (yes, even THAT one)


Eric Jacob

construction, oh ok, i agree

the xbox controller is a tank

ATARI 2600  best.controller.ever.  And not that fagg0t paddle.
