Wow looks like things didn't go to smooth for Microsoft at this years CES... convincing people to buy Windows 7, faulty software, and a bad case of overheating.

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

PS: even though this is a honest comment I kept it in the open zone so try not to take it to heart.

AdolfBinBush6333d ago (Edited 6333d ago )

it was just a bit disappointing and stuff..

eagle216333d ago

Not surprising indeed. :)

Mr Bot6333d ago (Edited 6333d ago )

its starting to be part of MS to have some type of failures in their products.

actually its not starting but its is already part of it!
window 7, vista, blue screen xp error, 360 RROD, Zone etc!!

drewdrakes6333d ago

This happens to everyone, just people blow it out of proportion with MS.

Much like how MS's commercials were made by a firm using Mac's. But if you think that in all of Apple there are no Windows computers then youre ignorant.

uxo226333d ago

Nice comment, glad to see someone around here can actually think intelligently. Bubbles up.

umair_s516333d ago

@ Mr bot

And many more coming soon!

EXCLUSIVEGAMER6333d ago

WOW. simply amazing.

i wonder what DEATH/FAIL acronym this will get?

TheDude2dot06332d ago

At Apple Stores, they use XPs to reset iPods that use XP iTunes.

FarEastOrient6332d ago

I wonder what we can call this failure, it needs to have a ring to it somewhere.

f7897906332d ago

Now when releasing it however, it needs to work.

pixelsword6332d ago

It's not like the whole thing self-destructed.

Maddens Raiders6332d ago

is that Motorstorm 2: Pacific Rift is the Best Off-Road Racing game of All-Time.

paul-p19886332d ago

i always thought 'M$' and 'system error' belonged in the same sentence :P

Moto136332d ago

I am definitely not surprised that an error happened on a piece of software, but if I understnad your comment correctly I think you might be trying to bash Microsoft. just for everyone's record as you kids these days don't see this I guess, NO software is ever perfect! You can't judge a piece of software based on an error. Surface is a great piece of software indeed. I was lucky enough to be able to play around with it and it was great. Apple products aren't perfect either, safari on my iPhone crashes all the freakin time and it is annoying as hell. There are some people in these comments already bashing Windows 7? Now that's seriously halarious. Every preview has been positive and the product is still in Beta stages. You can bash on Microsoft if you want when it's something legit (like 360 RROD) but a small error like this isn't a big deal at all and it happens in all sorts of softwares.

Has anyone experienced any problems with Windows 7?
I still haven't decided if I wanted to download the beta

Graphics Whore6333d ago

Make a separate partition so you don't have to re-install another OS if there is a problem. I have Windows XP and Windows 7 on to separate partitions and I honestly Love Windows 7.

Kushan6333d ago

Using Windows 7 right now. With Firefox 3.1b2 no less. Very very happy with it, fast as anything!

kewlkat0076333d ago (Edited 6333d ago )

I like it so far, but I still need a CD-Key I have 120 days left or something like that.

On the article: CES is about showcasing new technology(not yet available to the public) so who cares if there is hiccups.

I know, because it's MS it's a big deal....meh

I still need a CD-Key for W7 Beta??

darkequitus6333d ago

Windows 7 invery good indeed. Put Vista a couple of years ago on my XP Vaio 5SM-s. That killed it. Put W7 on a separate partition WOW. Very impressed so far.

uie4rhig6333d ago

go here: http://technet.microsoft.co...
and at the top right corner click on sign in, and sign in using a microsoft live id.. then you can get a legit key from MS here:
32bit: https://www.microsoft.com/b...
64bit: https://www.microsoft.com/b...

if you don't login first, you'll be redirected to microsoft website :P

PS360PCROCKS6333d ago

Me as well. Firefox 3.1 ROCKS! I'm running all betas lol. I'm running the Beta and I really like it. But I kinda screwed up and deleted XP like a noob so I'm stuck with this til August. But I have a Vista CD from a Laptop I purchased so I'm going to install that and just do an upgrade when Windows 7 truly releases.

RememberThe3576332d ago

how large should I make the partition?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio15d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
