Come on, no they can\'t have enough money. They are a company and the digitial camera industry is a viable industry to invest in.

I see your point but its not the general public opinion. I\'ve always hated Microsoft. They enter a lot of industries, like the gaming industry, buy out their competition, their windows (except 2000 and XP) suck ass and they leech off all they can in other industries like the camera industry. Yes, they do do some good but they are just getting too powerful.

How does XP suck ass?

It does everything I need it to do and it never crashes on me.

Reread my post vid. I specifically said EXCEPT XP.

their windows (except[/b] 2000 and XP) suck ass

My school uses XP and for once, the laptops in my school are good. They up until this year used 95. Slow as hell. But those were the computers, not the windows.

Doh....  NEvermind.  I was thinking you were pointing at 2000 and XP.


<---  tired bastard

I know it\'s becoming "cool" to defend MS after they\'ve taken so much heat during the years. But you know what? They ****ing deserve it. I\'m not gonna say "oh you whiney bitches, MS is a real nice company, please don\'t hate them". **** Microsoft. **** their business methods. **** anybody who says otherwise.

I\'m not defending Microsoft.  I\'m defending the idea of making money on your idea.

imo, M$ are holding back a lot of advances, sense everything is based of them, little is untouched by MS.
Things aren\'t being developed as well or even as fast as they could be. Prices are high for software that shouldn\'t even has the price tag that’s set on it. XP, Office XP etc.  
MS simply have to have control on everything, if they have control, they set the standards, in speed, in cost, in everything..  At least they haven\'t attacked the pc hardware scene much...   yet!!

You think the automotive industry doesn\'t do the same thing?  If they come out with what they are capable of now then what will they come up with for sales in the next ten years?  The slow progression makes people always want more.

Don\'t you wonder why in this day in age there still isn\'t a cream that will stop hair growth?

Give me a break.  It\'s impossible for me to believe there is no way to kill the hair follical.

I bet it\'s the razor industry pumping money somewhere to not have this wonder cream.

Well maybe not, but I still can\'t figure it out.

Ok, how many automotive companys control pretty much the standard in car manufacturing?


I can tell you which PC company does in software....

[videoholic]

True.  Just saying it\'s very normal to hold back.

Vid, atleast there is competition in the automotive industry. Come out with the cheaper, more efficient, fastest car. In the computer industry, its M$ and they are only concerned with money money money. They don\'t give a crap about their customers, they just want money and no competition.

Sounds like a good business model to me.

I agree with you but that also means they can screw with the people as much as they can. If they had competition of another windows like program, like say Red Hat was now becoming big and making more programs, Microsoft have competition and would have to make competetive prices and their grasp on the market would be weakened. Just my two cents.

As if any company that had MS\' weight wouldn\'t throw it around...
