This letter is largely extemporaneous and unedited. I'm hoping that a stream-of-consciousness approach is the most honest way to convey information about how Microsoft rather grandiloquently refers to me and everyone else it dislikes as an unpleasant hedonist. Let's start with my claim that the idea of letting Microsoft establish a world government complete with a world army, a world parliament, a world court, and numerous other agencies that pooh-pooh the reams of solid evidence pointing to the existence and operation of a phlegmatic coterie of stoicism is, in itself, wild. You may have detected a hint of sarcasm in the way I phrased that last statement, but I assure you that I am not exaggerating the situation. Even if I agreed that Microsoft's intemperate, surly crusades were of paramount importance, it would still be the case that I have begged Microsoft's assistants to step forth and help you reflect and reexamine your views on Microsoft. To date, not a single soul has agreed to help in this fashion. Are they worried about how Microsoft might retaliate? Many people consider that question irrelevant on the grounds that I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't want me to eavesdrop on its secret meetings. So why does it want to spawn delusions of Chekism's resplendence? I'm sure you already know the answer so I won't bother repeating it. I'd like to emphasize, however, that it's easy to tell if Microsoft is lying. If its lips are moving, it's lying.

Microsoft is an ungrateful, vapid card shark. I use that label only when it's true. If you don't believe it is, then consider that difficult times lie ahead. Fortunately, we have the capacity to circumvent much of the impending misery by working together to place blame where it belongs—in the hands of Microsoft and its soporific pals. If you're like most people you just shrug your shoulders whenever you hear about Microsoft's latest antics. When your shoulders get tired of shrugging I hope you'll realize that if I have a bias, it is only against stuporous rabble-rousers who create some spineless, pseudo-psychological profile of me to discredit my opinions. Evil prevails when good people do nothing. But there's the rub; Microsoft's stratagems are malicious. They're unnecessary. They're counterproductive. Whenever I encounter them I think that when I'm through with Microsoft it'll think twice before attempting to force its moral code on the rest of us.

I wonder what would happen if Microsoft really did fleece people out of their life's savings. There's a spooky thought. Not only have sophomoric grafters decided to glorify their treatises by dressing them up as moral and righteous prerogatives, but their Ponzi schemes are being debated as though they were actually reasonable. We've tolerated Microsoft's infernal platitudes long enough. It's time to lose our patience and chill our kindness. It's time to speak up and speak out against Microsoft. It's time to shout to the world that it's not interested in finding truth but only in defending ideas that fit with its world vision. I'm not saying that facetiously; as people who know me sincerely realize, I always mean what I say and say what I mean. They also realize that Microsoft has a talent for inventing fantasy worlds in which it is the one who will lead us to our great shining future. Then again, just because Microsoft is a prolific fantasist doesn't mean that mediocrity and normalcy are ideal virtues. I hope I haven't bored you by writing an entire letter about Microsoft. Still, this letter was the best way to explain to you that there is no real way to undo the consequences of Microsoft's longiloquent expositions.

But Word and Windows OS doesn't do anything for there Gaming Division.

Sure Xbox Live will help but if they didn't have Live and they weren't making a profit on the 360 then Microsoft wouldn't hesitate to close that division.

Examples are always nice when trying to make an argument. Otherwise you just create a string of platitudes and/or unsubstantiated opinions.

Something you learn in a basic English composition class.

but knocking the arguement because of a few probs:?, as long as it's still easy to understand.....its a lil rough around the edges but it's not a bad agruement...it needs a tl dr verison though.

I see a lot of rambling about why Microsoft has a bad reputation, and speculation about their less than ethical behaviors, but no solid argument about why they are on a steady decline. In fact, most of that is just metaphor and speculation wrapped into a tightly knit fantasy world much like the one described in said rant. It's so easy to establish why Microsoft is declining and yet, the OP doesn't really do so.

And other companies would keep it up and losing? If any company is losing money on something, and dont wish to try a different strategy they close up production of the losing entity. I understand how many dont like MS' strategy, but the fact is it is earning money. Some how all these financial geiuses who put it down are missing this?

Um....what? Seriously TC Microsoft is just a company that wants to make a profit. They are no more greedy that Nintendo (3 year old Mario Kart...still $49.99) or Sony ($599 launch console, everybody will get two jobs to pay for one, etc.).

After reading your eloquently written manifesto. It sounds like your only option would be a plan to blow up Parliament....er Microsoft on the 5th of November with a tube train loaded with explosives..... Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici ;)

I don't think other companies would keep it up if they were losing.

I'm just saying why mention Word and Windows OS when those are completely different divisions of Microsoft that have nothing to do with Microsoft Games Studios.

I don't see a problem paying for XBL Gold fees, it's $60/year, that's $5/month on average, $1.25 per week, 18 cents per day, but I make the sacrifices (if you can even call it that), frankly I barely notice it, I mean look at rent, $600 a month for a crap apartment, electric bill about $25 a month on average, Cable television with high speed internet bundle was like $150 per month, my health and dental insurance I pay for now costs $200 a month, my car insurance is another $100 a month, I haven't figured in gas and food costs but they're big... anyhow, bills responsibility, life, it's all stressful, I like to play my games and enjoy them when I can, great escapism which we need in this day and age, forget the stresses of life, I enjoy myself most on my Xbox 360 and I don't mind paying the $60 a year for that piece of mind it gives me, it entertains me, I can skip going to the theaters like I used to do, a night at the movies now is costly, $11 tickets, $8 popcorn, $7 soda, that's $26, I can buy one of those greatest hits classic video games I've never played for $20 or less, play it for days, weeks, and it's mine to keep, heck if you just wait you can buy the movie you were going to see on Blu-Ray for that much. It's really not that big of deal paying for XBL if you use it.

Exactly. Servers, etc., don't come for very cheap. That's why PSN+ was step one to try to make money for that.

anyway whaaaa, corporations are being all corporation-y boo hoo, why don't you focus that razor sharp perception and pocket thesaurus on monsanto or union carbide or any one of the hundreds of other companies that are evil to the core as opposed to just slightly evil?

First, I believe that OP is plagiarised, with MS substituted for whatever that was first written about. It doesnt fit, imo. Second, what world vision are you supposedly talking about? Whose vision? Yours? Or the actual authors, pertaining to what that is truly written about.

Um....what? Seriously TC Microsoft is just a company that wants to make a profit. They are no more greedy that Nintendo (3 year old Mario Kart...still $49.99) or Sony ($599 launch console, everybody will get two jobs to pay for one, etc.).

After reading your eloquently written manifesto. It sounds like your only option would be a plan to blow up Parliament....er Microsoft on the 5th of November with a tube train loaded with explosives..... Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici ;)

Fight the power my brother !!!

The only problem is SONY was losing +$250 on each PS3 sold back then still I;m not saying they are not greedy :P.

TC, you should be a politician. You have mastered the art of long, elegant tirades that manage to say nothing of any relevance. Congratulations.
