"Today, the Microsoft site is featuring a running series of tweets praising the new OS (though they're running at least a day behind - so much for real-time web search). They're also a bit too uniformly positive, so you know somebody's cherry picking. Still, it's a clever idea."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
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.
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.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
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.
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
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
No.
One good OS doesn't change the crappy stuff MS continually forces on its customers. Case in point, stealth installing buggy add-ons into Firefox that cause vulnerabilities and instability without any easy way to remove them.
So why should I suddenly love them because I like W7?
You can't change my mind with fun new slogans and a smart campaign. Instead of ads which talk about listening and catering to your customers, how about doing precisely that on a daily basis?
Dont have a problem with apple. I use vista (gaming, internet). Use XP for music. Haven't had one issue. Doesn't meant some issues couldn't arrise for other users but I dont see what the problem is.
They have to make an operating system that can be installed on millions of different pc's with millions of parts. Not all pc's are the same. That is a hard thing to do.
I've never really had a problem with Microsoft's business side of things (i.e, anything that doesn't involve video games). Their customer service has been more than helpful to me over the years, I've had a stable installation of Windows Vista x64 for over two years now and I can get Windows 7 for $40 with that student offer.
I chose a mac no problems so far I find the Apple programs to be cheaper than a Microsoft program. Microsoft office was $150 for PC, $200 for one that works with both mac and pc. And I bought a $70 Apple version of Microsoft Office no problems so far.
No.
