Wait, I know this is a bit off topic but for those who participated in Xi on Home. Do you think Velicorp symbolizes Microsoft? Just a wild idea that cross my minded.

Before you know it MS is gonna have to sell Windows as just stripped down bare bones OS code.

I'm sorry but everyone is playing victim to the "make an application that comes with windows Os" and sue them for monopoly.

Maybe these buisness should try making a product that doesnt already exist in microsofts OS. I mean if microsoft steals the idea then ok, but lets face it.. msn messenger has been around for a long LONG time.

To make a new messenger software and say it failed cause of microsoft... and microsoft should pay me.. is just a way of trying to steal from microsoft.

I mean aol instant messenger doesnt come with windows, but its like the most popular messenger around.

People are weird, its just a company thats sucessful in making money whats wrong with that? sure the business practises arent always 100% innocent but then if they were they wouldnt be half as sucessful as they are

Every company in the world dont stick to the ethical guide lines, MS are just better at bending the rules than everyone else, good on them i say, if anyone of you was in the same position you would be the exact same, thats why greed is on the deadly sin's list, it gets to everyone (apart from Ghandi but that guy was odd anyway)

Monopoly maybe but evil? no.

if you microsoft to go down go ahead and start your own business and be better than them.

microsoft is a monopolizing company that kills competition and copies innovation.

this is not new.what other company had that same title of monopolizer?

well what do know.it was ELECTRONIC ARTS.

if you're in the same boat as EA,then there is a problem with your business practices.

apocalypse..................

Yes I said UMBRELLA.
Microsoft is still a corporation that can dissapear tommorow.
I hate em. I really do for 2 reasons & 2 reasons alone.

My computer busted when they introduced vista & my 360 rroded twice as e74 & 2 lights of death before they extended the warranty to cover that.

Bad luck?

No. Its not my fault thier equipment can't maintain itself in my state of the art living room.
& they even charged my credit card without my permission for another gold avccount that I had to cancel.
I had a stuck disc drive, freezing & nobody is home to wait for a ups delivery to sign for. Not to mention the games haven't advanced farther than gears 1 & that's a childrens game.

I hope thier stock falls flat.

This seems like a death-bed confession to me. It's almost like they're trying to let the world know what they think before N. Korea goes apeshit and lets the genie out.

Now were gonna have at least 4 articles saying Sony is a suicidal Japanese terrorist.
With clips of ken saying "super computer".

"Are you not entertained ?!!!"

If a person says something enough then they will start to believe it.

Seems everybody wants to rape Microsoft for every penny they can get, especially the governments.

American history is like that.
So much of American history is factually false & everybody knows it but if the legend is better than the truth
They will teach the legend.

Christopher Columbus
Paul revere
Native Americans are savage
JFK
MLK
Mexico
Everything is made up to suit what Americans want to hear.
I know. I live in new York.

And I say...DUHHHHHHHH!!!!

Welcome to the 1990's

*plays a clip from "The Matrix"*

nice to see the koreans join the party.

Even compared to North Korea Microsoft still comes worse off.

I must admit there OS are very good BUT it can vary and is usually very expencive, but I'd pay.

I Don't care for MS and It's practices, but to be honest, many
other companies will find some reason to sue the Mighty company
of Microsoft.

Apple should allow the Mac to be Licensed to Dell, IBM, HP, Acer etc.
I'd go with the Mac any day but most of us are stuck with windows.
