Can we STOP spelling Microsoft with a "$" PLEASE!!!

[Elemental]

Huh? Micro$oft is in now? I thought it was Activi$ion!

I don't believe that I got fucking ninja'd

People can do as they like. How about YOU just don't get bothered by it. You're the problem here not the people who post it as you're the one making a thread about it and unnecessarily telling people what they can and can't do.

That's like saying "Nazi Germany wasn't in the wrong, it was those stupid Allied forces for being bothered by them!"

Why is it that EVERY conversation, no matter the subject, brings up Nazis or WWII in some way shape or form. There is a difference between someone expressing their views through internet slang and a faction that committed widespread genocide.

Godwin's Law. Not much we can do about it really.

OT: There is nothing wrong with spelling Microsoft "Micro$oft". It's just something that people do to express their disapproval with the practices of the company (some, if not most of which are downright idiotic). If you don't like it, just ignore it.

*To the person I quoted: Everything after the "OT:" is directed at the OP.*

unless you can show me one company that actively hates and rejects money and profit, microsoft is just another face in the crowd. They're not the most greedy or the most customer-unfriendly. they're not evil. they're not good either, don't get me wrong, they're just capitalists.

Was a rage thread really necessary? You're coming to a pretty small forum and asking everyone to do that, go to some PC forum or something and ***** about it, gaming discussion is supposed to be a more fun forum.

Spelling it with a $ reminds me of that godawful 'musician' Ke-dollar sign-ha, and the less I think of her the better.

what happened to the days of boycotting shit?

Seeing as how boycotts have been SO successful...

Ye$ $ome $ugge$t Micro$oft i$ $pelled thi$ becau$e Micro$oft i$ $uper $poiled

Well thats my douchebag move of the day

OT:It annoys me also, very much, I am disguised in myself for typing that thing above me.

Hahah. Micro$oft = Microsoft. It's a thing that only computers don't get. So get off this net and do something useful.

Thanks all, i got some forum badges for this, it wasn't my intent, but i'm appreciative regardless.

oh, and i've never capitalized i, it's a stylistic choice. there is deeper meaning in it too, a bit of "i am just dust in the wind, a freckle on the ass of eternity, too insignificant to require a capital letter." mentality.

but that's my view on all of humanity as well. anyways, thanks again folks. i feel much better about the annoyance, and i've got some pretty new badges too. life is good.

You missed the earlier post about the xbox slim that has some plastic in place that forces you to buy a 25 doller cable to bypass it. People who brake this plastic find it has nothing important inside it and has no reason for being.

I had to pay 50 pounds for a wireless attatchment for my Xbox when i know those damn things are not built for 50 pounds or even close. Also the fact i have to pay for xbox live as well as the original expendeture. Also the fact this new slim is red ringing already. Il let you decide what that tells you.

Most products on the market in any industry were not made for the amount they are being sold. It's how you make money. Like in the clothes industry: probably 3/4+ of the price is for having logo X on your shirt/pants/whatever.

i didn't tell anyone not to, i asked nicely.

I do beleive that the letter i by it self if supposed to be capitolised.

Sony fits the dollar sign more than Micro$uck does.

Bill Gate$ is the most generous man in existence by the way. Look it up.

Compare the failure of Sony products vs Micro$oft for the win!

That make$ no $en$e as all.

Yeah, I know!

Why do people keep spending money on $ony for another new product that will fail?!?

It boggles the mind.
