Between the xbox360 and Windows Vista and any other relative things microsoft have done, do you see Microsoft as favourable technology company, a monopoly monster or somewere in between?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
As a developer, I love the stuff they're doing (ASP.Net is hands down my favorite web platform, though I want to try Rails). As an end user, I'm less impressed with Vista, but I'll use it for a while. As a gamer, they're getting everything right with the 360, except for HDMI.Between the xbox360 and Windows Vista and any other relative things microsoft have done, do you see Microsoft as favourable technology company, a monopoly monster or somewere in between?

No MS haters will claim that Sony is a monolopy monster of the video game industry, because that will back them look bad. MS is doing business, and everything else besides the 360 has no discussion here because it is not in the console wars.
As for myself, I have no opinion on their status, I just enjoy their games.

You must be from another planet. As long as something is related to a company, it can be used againest them, even if it's a long dead relative or a distant cousin or even their dog, it can be used here in SW.

What do you mean by "you guys"?
Why shouldn't gamerankings used to back up scores, after all they take the scores from many sites and average it out, which I think is much better than just listening to what one guy has to say.
MS is a large corporation that does what it can to make more money. Just like all big companies.Ibacai
Because small company's don't care about making money, right? haha
[QUOTE="BigDizz"]When I think of MS
I think American

Same here, I like my products from China or Mexico.
haha.. well. 360 is made in China Im pretty sure. The zune might be aswell.[QUOTE="Ibacai"]MS is a large corporation that does what it can to make more money. Just like all big companies.StephenKing_1

Apparently most people on system wars think Sony and Nintendo aren't mainly after money, whilst Microsoft are some evil company after everyones money. Every company wants money, if they didn't they would just be a non-profit organisation

No, of course not but they usually don't have the financial backing to crush all opposition (Buy outs, mergers, land grabs, etc.) And I count Sony and Nintendo as big companies as well. Seems people think I'm bashing MS here...When I'm not really bashing anyone.I really like MS. They bought us the Xbox and 360, both of which I love and consider the best consoles I ever owned. XBL is pure genius and pioneered a whole new level for console gaming.
I hope to get a kick ass Vista laptop in July, so I'm MS all the way.
Sony had at most a 60% share of the market. not a monopoly.No MS haters will claim that Sony is a monolopy monster of the video game industry, because that will back them look bad.
