I'm a PS3 player, so as far as the xbox is concerned, I'm neutral to it.
But in terms of PCs, I prefer MC to Apple.

Do you dislike Microsoft?

You have some valid points there, especially the online, but most of them seem to stem from you being habituated to the PS3. For instance, the controller and the UI. They're both very intuitive and easy to use once you get used to them. I find the PS3 controller to be uncomfortable and strange, but that's only because I never use them and I'm used to the xbox one.Beautiful End said:
Just keep an open mind is all.
My hate towards Microsoft is less because they are to gaming hardware what Activision is to game development and more because they have produced some truly fantastic products and failed to support them to the point where they cannot possibly succeed. I'm fucking sick of Apple (or whoever) to flooding the market with these terrible (comparatively at least) products....Not only do they neglect their brilliant products, they try to force their fuckups on us (xp, GFWL etc) or, worse still, they'll have a good product (the example I'm running with is vista) that's great for a specific purpose (heavy 64 bit simulations and very high end computing) and they'll try to sell it as a good system for private use.....It's like they straight up don't know anything about their products :\
Note that I've deliberately not mentioned Microsoft office...I can't describe my feelings as to how Microsoft handle the software and customer with regard to ms office in any civil manner.

I'm not an outrageous fan of Microsoft, but I do quite enjoy their products. Always been a Windows user and I certainly appreciate the Xbox even though I own a PS3 instead.
Honestly, I just try to vary my experiences with technology so it never gets stale. My newest venture is the Android operating system and I LOOOOOVE IT.

And I thought you were talking about the bandwidth that you use to use the service.sheic99 said:
How would Microsoft be able to have and maintain dedicated servers for all multiplayer games on LIVE? How would any company do that? Even with the money they rake in from Gold subscriptions they wouldn't be able to hold up that many servers. And what a waste it would be too. Hosting a game on LIVE consumes approximately 10MB/hour and about half that for those who join. It's just an accepted fact people know when using LIVE. With such huge internet plans you can get nowadays, who on this planet would give a shit?
And allowing players to play multilayer on other players' hosts isn't the only thing you pay for anyway.
I hate the high prices you need to pay to keep your PC up to date with current technologies (any version of Windows 7 is 100+ euro,s and that,s just the system builders version) and that they bog it down with all kind,s of program,s you don,t need (like a Telex service program)
also their office program costs allot of money (even though Open Office which is free can read more file types)
PS
it,s also a ***** when you want to personalize stuff like the logon screen and bootup animation

I like how Bill Gates can donate billions of dollars to charity. Saving hundreds of thousands of people from starvation and disease and people still compare him to Adolf Hitler because they don't care for the software he developed that is optional to use in the first place.
Hate them. Hate them to death. Mainly because of their PC gaming support, or rather their lack thereof. Games for Windows Live is a piece of shit, and because of the Live software that comes on Microsoft-published PC discs... well, none of them actually work on my computer. I can run the Steam copy of Fallout 3, but I can't run the disc that I bought. I'll repeat that. The digital copy works, but the tangible, physical disc that one would hope would last beyond download services is a worthless piece of plastic right out of the box.
Yeah, thanks Microsoft...

You obviously weren't reading were you? The ridiculous failure rate was fixed with the old 360s with the new chipset and is fixed in the Slims thanks to the new design. That whole 50/50 bullshit ceased to be true over two and a half years ago. Now the now 360s have the same reliability as the PS3's and only got the RRoD if something is genuinely wrong with them (much like the PS3's yellow light). You can't seriously think you're argument is watertight when all your info is wrong.TestECull said:
Just read the damn facts and forget your flawed logic.
You forgot the part where I said that my disc try failed. I can list plenty of negative points to do with the 360. However, I won't because I've had more good experiences then bad.TestECull said:
And you would know how to tell a Jasper from a Falcon? Plus all 360s RRoD for a reason. The X-clamp bending the mobo, microscopic cracks in the solder, fried microprocessors, they all can lead to a Red Ring. It's impossible to stop technology from failing.
I'm indifferent towards them. Everything I use that they make, I find OK. I use windows 7, of which my only criticism is I could have had XP, and get the same functionality (as per my usage) but with half the resources. If I don't like something they make, I don't use it; Although it might be nice if Batman Arkham Asylum would recognise I'm using a mouse and keyboard rather than a 360 controller. Can't play the game at all, but at seven quid it's not a great loss.
