I hate Microsoft. :)
This case is dumb. If court sides with the platif that means anything that has similar features of a competer's product is "cloning" . The computer industry is pretty much that. It's called reverse enginering. And why should they give up their code they made it. I do hate how MS always has to make things for windows only.
whatever happens to their code,
I just want them to be broken up into 3 or more companies.. 2 is not enough, they are too large.

But, you don't see this because this is more on the bussiness side of things. MS has started to do more things with other platforms with the .net stuff. Which is a for database, web servers, and programming. I also find the endless shit MS gets for being MS is also annoying. I don't love them but you do have to respect them. Can you write a million lines of code and not have a bug? Well they can't either. But, I'm betting it's still better than yours.
it's interesting that a few people on some internet boards I read, who probably didn't used to like Microsoft, are now just tired of anti-Microsoft sentiment.
Maybe I should have just shared what the article said and not said "hate"? I understand if I have an opinion of something and someone disagrees.

They're still a bussiness. Companies do mean shit to each other all the time. Sony is as guilty as MS. Their both doing annoying shit. Sony tends to do more strong arm tactics like suing people till they go bankrupt or blackmailing stores to only carry their products.
The reason I don't like them is there was a period of a few years when I was basically only able to use Windows which would always be crashing/messing up, and so less work or play could get done. I also believe that their anti-competitive practices have thwarted innovation industry wide, and in a sense they have actually held back our culture from where it should be just so they can be in control of the market. Microsoft not only violates the law of the anti-trust acts, but also the spirit.

I just got more annoyed at the constant bashing. You should be happy there is a thrid console. It keeps the other 2 console's asses in line. Price drops and deals. Have you used linux? It's a real bitch to find driver support. I got pissed also how hard it was just to complie a program on linux. So I'm using win 2k right now.
