i know about the quote thing, i quoted it, but through some error, probably my own, it quoted the wrong post, and that made no sense, and i just edited it instead of requoting. but thanks for pointing it out in case i didn't know.maddawg IAJI said:
Oh, Microsoft = Micro$oft? I thought everybody was playing games on a console produced by a company pronounced "Micro-dollar-oft" but I didn't want to ask because I was afraid of seeming n00bish.
To appease all parties involved we shall refer to Microsoft as "Corporate Bastard$," Sony as "Japanese Corporate Bastard$" and Apple as "Smug Corporate Bastard$." Is this acceptable?
Oh, and Nintendo will be titled "Retro Japanese Corporate Bastard$."

So you're saying the Bill Gates had nothing at all to do with Xbox or Windows.martyrdrebel27 said:
i will only stop calling it Micro$oft if we start calling the demon Activi$ion seeing as how they are more consumer unfriendly and love money more than a quality product
Nobody says they are the greediest bastards - they're just not particularly customer-friendly.
Oh, and why do you get so bothered by a simple Internet quirk?

How is that comparable to some one spelling a word with a dollar sign!?headshotcatcher said:
I'll admit, it's pretty brave to hop on and ask an entire community to stop something that is really insignificant if you sit down and think about it.
Though considering how it's just a harmless replacement for the S, I doubt anyone is going to do it... Let the kids have their fun and if you don't like it, stay away from microsoft related threads.
Well, not to be mean or anything, but M$ has had almost a monopoly for many years in the operating system/office pack business, and in all those years they have been the WORST alternative in terms of stability.
The only reasonable OS-esque thing they ever made was DOS, and it was feeble compared to bs and zsh and bash.
They may be reasonably good at compiler and virtual machine design (MSVSC and .NET respectively), and do a pretty good job at web servers, but it doesn't quit cut it when your main product is a thing EVERYBODY has heard of, MOST use and is WORSE than ALL alternatives.

i dunno, maybe i'm just having a bad day, but i've been seeing this for over a year, mostly on GameFAQS and earlier i saw a post about the slim's HD cable issues and having to unneccesarily buy them, and every time it said Micro$oft. we get the joke, you don't need to do it every time, its just old and annoying at this point.JourneyThroughHell said:
and plus the inherant hypocrisy. you want them to release better products? QUIT BUYING THEIR SHIT THEN! people just seem so intent on filling the gluttonous hole in their lives with whatever gets put out there like fucking junkies. what happened to the days of boycotting shit? grow a pair, get some self control, and say, FUCK YOU MICROSOFT, I'M SITTING THIS ONE OUT UNTIL YOU GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT. but nobody does it. they consume and *****. wanna open their eyes? hurt their fucking wallets, it's the only thing that makes them understand. take some of this blame for yourselves, and quit blaming the company exclusively.
but it's more likely that i'm just having a bad day and got annoyed.

I've only seen that spelling of Microsoft one or two times.
Seems a bit immature to me, although I do like the spelling "Faux News", so bit of a double standard I guess.
I tend to dislike Microsoft, but not so much specifically as in a more general sense that I dislike capitalism. Sense we are in a capitalist system I'll use their products, but I would rather the system be different altogehter.
As for the spelling- I will not be spelling it with a $. If other people do, well, let 'em.

You definitly are an idiot, and a fanboy, and maybe an employee, who knows. Bill Gates is IN CHARGE. That means that he is the boss. The team working for him are nothing more than tools to do the job. Whatever he says they should do, they do, but it's still Bill Gates' idea. Also, if he had no influence in the qaulity of his products, why is Windows 7, who has been made when Bill Gates stopped, better than Vista, who was still under the supervision of Gates?martyrdrebel27 said:
You should read some history about this kind of thing before you make random arguments and random statements.

Sorry, I just love that episode.
OT: I don't really mind it. But then, I don't let things like this bother me. I think I'm a happier person for it.
...Except Nazi germany was A) really evil and all that and B) actively hurting other people. People who spell it Micro$oft are A) engaging in a very, VERY trivial attack and B) not doing anything that harms anyone else.headshotcatcher said:
False analogy much?
