Why are you angry at them?
The only grief I have is that sometimes their console is a little too noisy.

No, in fact I'm liking them more and more as I go. Everything is become so integrated on all of Microsoft's software and hardware. They're genuinely starting to put thought into stuff.
I honestly can't wait until the next Zune. I don't expect a web browser but stuff like Facebook integration is a real possibility.

I hate them with every fiber of my being. I'm pretty much using their OS against my will until I can get Wine (the Windows emulator) running in Linux. I also don't own an Xbox, since I like playing online for free, and I prefer not to have terrible tech support. By the way, that wasn't a pro-PS3 thing, since I don't own one of those either, so no flamewars please. I also don't like Apple any better either, so yeah.
Yes, I do.

Oh, you want to know why. Sorry, you never said. Ahem...
Microsoft, created by a computer genius who's now so rich that the only people that can compete with him are other insanely rich computer geniuses. (Sorry, Steve. That's how it is, yo.) I have no idea what Bill Gates wants out of life. He doesn't need to actually DO anything with his life anymore, because he's personally worth more than Fort Knox. (That's both the gold and whatever it takes to support the installation and all employees there combined.) He could honestly just give away his Windows programs and products for the rest of his life and it wouldn't matter.
Unfortunately, his company is like an amoeba thrown in reverse, absorbing everything to get bigger. And what it's selling? Eh, it's nice but...I think Bug City is probably a good name for the software, seriously. I hear horror stories about it from my older geeky brother. Couple that with such a loving phrase as "planned obsolescence" and you have problems which will last about...forever. But hey, how about that tech support? "What tech support?" Exactly! Lemme tell you, if you get a guy on the Microsoft tech support line who's got an Indian accent and called Bob? Tell 'im I said hi.
So, what's to hate about Microsoft? Well, everything I said plus all the people buying into it faster than a sale at Walmart. Ta', for now.

You know, it's people like you who hold back humanity with prejudice and hate. Psychic Chimps may be psychic and chimps, but why does that give you the right to discriminate against them?Aardvark said:
But seriously, other than some frustration with Windows (I'll say this: user profiles are not as good an idea as they thought they were) like everyone has, I don't really hate them. No real reason to.
Yes. They make shitty quality hardware.
360 has the worst fucking failure rate along with all their computers.
They have the potential to be great but they keep releasing all this cheaply made shit.

No. You can't just ask us if we hate them if you won't justify your own hate...
EDIT: Actually, you can. But don't expect us to respond extremely well.

I hate microsoft... but you know I'm a gamer. it's not like I can switch over to Mac, hahaha.Combatwombat246 said:
Well, it depends on which aspect you're talking about.
Internet Exploder? FireFox trumps it I think.
360? Bah, I prefer PS3.
The computer I'm using? If I wasn't so lazy and had enough spare change, I'd make my own computer, but it does what it's supposed to.
Hardware wise? Yeah, not so-ERROR CODE 1637258592
Software wise? They're good with OSs and stuff (I don't want to get into the "games" part of the software).
Overall, I don't "hate" Microsoft despite being the #1 Sony fanboy in this here parts. But boy oh boy do I hate that one representative guy, Greenburg I think his name one.

Sure I have dislike for Microsoft. But I don't own a 360 so they can rape my wallet for Live, so all I really get pissed off about is whenever my computer fucks up. Which is rarely.
Besides, Microsoft brought us this wonderful operating system for our PC's.
Without Windows, we'd all probably be playing on Macs... *shudder*

You mean what they charge for premium gasoline? Where regular and plus will cost you an arm and a leg respectively.Kuchinawa212 said:
They annoy me slightly, by not telling people (my parents) that Vista Basic is almost worse than XP in terms of gaming. Which is what I asked them for last year, and they said no and buy me a PC anyway for some reason that I won't argue with.
