M$ will in the long run screw over to accomplish 1 and only 1 thing.......to make them fiflthy rich........yeah they put on a smily face and play as your buddy.......on the othe side of that face holds a knife waiting 2 stab u in the back........their true colors will show as no one can hold up that fake good guy act forever

The whole reason to be in business is to make money, what's wrong with that? They do make crappy products like windows vista but there's no reason to hate them because they make money.

every company is out for themselves (profit)...



like everything else, there is a good and bad side... if it wasn't for microsoft we'd all be using macs, and if you think microsoft is controlling and greedy look at the iphone...



you think you'd have weed to smoke if it didn't make your dealer money? ha... IMO if it takes weed to open your eyes you are an idiot.

Im not against any business making a profit, or even a huge one, on the contrary i congratulate them on it. However if they do so by selling poor products to the consumer, then it becomes a whole new kettle of fish, they become more like cowboys and less like respectable businesses.



If a roofing contractor came round, quoted you $40,000 for a new roof (probably excessive but its for e.g. only) then he fitted it, so poorly it didnt do its job. What would you do? say "bravo your business is sound, you deserve to make lots of money" or do you report him to authorities for being a cowboy?



Dunno about you but i know which id do



Quality control within an industry like this should be a top priority, else these games will just get slated by reviews and consumers for being unstable, shallow piles of rubbish and as a result of them saving 3 weeks of development, have lost hundreds of thousands, if not millions from sales.

I agree with that, just look at vista and the rrod.

Basically every release of windows could have used another year of development....but they release them anyways and just rely on tons of patches and service packs....
