Does Microsoft Suck?

What do you think??

Does Microsoft and MSN suck?


I believe they do yes because...well i list a for reasons

1) There software and Operating systems are full of bugs...
2) MSN are signing the death worrant of MSN plus+
3) Windows XP home,Pro,Embedded and MSDN Versions suck
4) They charge too much for Visual Studio
5) They make our lives hard with activation when they have more money then they know what to do with
6) They make new versions so we can pay more money to upgrade every month.
7) They ban people in MSN chat for having there 'O' key broke and they say "accunt" instead of "account" LOL
8) Them send error report junk is just stuppid idea! they dont do jack **** about the problems in the reports
9) IE6 hardly does the job it sucks bad!! they have this lame cookie blocker that just sucks stops alot of images loading
10) Most of there Critical updates really make the system worse
11) Bill gates is greedy and wants more wealth
12) They try to get an Apple Look which fails totally

thank you!

i missed the "apple look". unless you are talking about the use of alpha channels. which in that case, i think they used that for good cause. but in all, they do kinda suck. but, consider the alternatives.
1. a Mac. -- good for rich folk, who don't play a whole lotta games, or plan on building their own machine.

2. a linux box. -- good for the "uber geek", who don't care that his/her OS isn't the target platform for big game and software designers. no offense intended, I think the people who make linux do what they want it to are deserving of recognition. but, so far, I still can't find the time to get into it. but that is my fault, and not the OS's fault.

Does Microsoft Suck

You Know what they say "Opinions are like assholes everybody has one". Could Windowsw XP be better, probably. Could my life be better definently. Are we all jealous of Bill Gates ,absolutely. First thing we have to understand is the game, he who dies with the most toys wins. Bill Gates is definitey coming in first and more power to him. He didn't come from an exceptionally rich family he was just in the right place at the right time and saw a good opportunity and ran with it. His ability to put the right people around him and exploit the opportunities he saw made him what he is today. As far as him being greedy and wanting to make more money I don't believe thats true. Bill Gates has more money than he could possibly spend in 1000 lifetimes. Microsoft could go bankrupt tomorrow and the only people it would hurt would be the employees it wouldn't affect his lifestile one bit. He has made his money and you can"t take that away from him. He and his wife give huge amounts to charity every year. May be he stays in the game because he feels a responsibilty to his employees. He probably feels he can run the company better than anyone else and feels he can ensure stability for the people that depend on thier jobs to feed and cloth thier families. He has created untold numbers of jobs for people who not only work for microsoft but the numerous companies that support and produce products that run on microsoft systems. I have used MAC and Linux but always come back to windows. I will agree that MAC and Linux can do some things better than windows but for the best all around system windows can't be beat. If thier really were better all around systems available then people would be using them. If I want to go on line and tranfer a file from say sombody on England and there ten different operating systems being used around the the world can you imagine the has it would be trying to convert that file to the operating system you were using. Sometime standardization is verry very good. When I go to the store to buy some new software i don't have to look in ten different rows to make sure I get the right software for my computer. I go down the row labeled PC. I am not a rich man, I work for a living. My annual income is $38,000 a year no where near what Bill Gates makes. I am not jealous of him one little bit. He has achieved the american dream and more power to him. Bill you keep going for it as long as you want. All your detractors are just jealous.
