The Day I Decided Micro$oft Isn't Pure Evil

Post by Frug » Sun Jul 10, 2005 7:48 pm

So first of all, they were smart about Xboxes. The xbox is the best console system around, despite how the first generation kept crashing. They bought bungie and had clever people hiring game companies for them, but aside from that...

I recently heard that Bill Gates donates, anonymously, tons and tons of money to support relief efforts in africa. Sure, I know that all rich people create agencies that donate to charities, but usually for things like tax credit and public image. I heard that gates quietly donates a real whackload of money to that cause. He gets props for that. Even if word sucks and windoze crashes.

Wow that's nice of him. Hey, he's successful on crappy business... he must be a genius in marketing or something.

Bill Gates isn't pure evil. Microsoft is.
I will never buy xbox. it supports Microsoft and therefore windows which may or may not be the cause of hundreds of suicides a year.

Well business is business. I hate microsoft too, but it's such a big company with so many divisions that hating it all is just getting impractical. I'd buy an xbox if I wanted to get a console. I just, like, don't.

"If windows sucks so bad, why are you using it?"
Because everyone else does and all the software is written for it. It's called a monopoly, and they've been sued for it, ya know. Doesn't mean it isn't crap. CNN is crap and it's all over the place.
