OMG... XBOX Name dispute.. you gotta see this
« Reply #15 on: February 05, 2001, 02:56:32 AM »
this wont slow ms down!, but it seems strange that ms has already handeled the situation. It\'ll be solved by the time xbox launches.

but if ms decides to delay it in the us, its gonna be snes megadrive war al over again!!!. Ms already delayed in Europe, so a second delay would be a big blow to the xbox userbase set up

they are not releasing the x box untill next year in the UK , but the US and Asia will have it first ?

whats the Gates mister doing trying to upset his Europen Fanbase ?

you would think with a company like Microsoft they can release it the world over at once ?

They will do what they want.  If it comes down to it they will say here, here is $500 million, shut up and take the money..

Guess what, he is gonna take the money...  Simple as that.  The person with the most money wins, and MS has the most money.  They will either buy him out or the courts.  Very simple.

If it has gone on this long then that means that old Billy\'s attempts at kidnapping the people\'s family and torturing their pets and waking up with horse heads, has not worked :D

 Even if Gates gets in trouble and sweeps the streets for a living, wich will never happen because if he does get in trouble he can bribe the police like the mafia does.But if he does, somehow have to do that he wont have to sweep because with the money he has he dont need anymore money.But hopefully for Sony\'s benifet that will happen then sony will win the game console war! :D :D :D :D :D :D

I\'m not trying to start a war here, but this Microsoft bashing has me confused. Why does this hatred exist for Microsoft among certain groups?  I think it\'s kind of scary to see the the feds go after a company because they believe it\'s getting too big. Do you really believe that Bill Bates is evil incarnate for creating a product that is very popular? I know I\'m all over the map here but I need to know.
Also, why would you anybody be happy to see the XBox delayed. I for one can\'t wait to get my hands on the system.
Thanks!

00seven-Europe always gets the system last (of the big 3 markets). Dont take it personally.

Ace-Theyre all cry babies, thats why. You\'d think MS or Gates\' did something to them personally by the way they whine. They\'re like fake enviromentalists who just jumped on the bandwagon in the 90\'s. They dont really care about MS (although everyone has a opinion of Gates), its just popular to bash MS, and the losers think it makes them cooler to copy the other fewer senior members who actually dislike MS. They\'re posers.

There won\'t be a delay. As far as I can tell, the case won\'t hold up in court. The Xbox console has nothing to do with XBOX Technologies as they are dealing with 2 totally distinct markets. It\'s like if someone were to open up a Mcdonald\'s Hardware shop, they couldn\'t be sued by Mcdonald\'s restaurant.
