Just a few things:

• Zune HD andWindows Mobile 6.5/7
• 30 million X360sold
• 20 million ACTIVE XBL subs,
• WINDOWS 7
• Bing 'Decision Engine'

X360 may not be in first place, but it is enjoying comfortable market share with the highest attachment ratio (last I checked). XBL is doing great with 20 million active subscribers. Once the XBL and Zune Marketplaces are fully integrated, X360's position as a media hub will be solidified.Zune HD looks to be a solid competitor to iPod Touch (better IMHO), and with XBLA on the go, it is a buy for me. Also waiting to see how the Zune integration on Windows Mobile will shape up. iCrap beware lol.
Windows 7 has stolen all the glory as a stable and vast improvement over the image and usabilityof its predecessor. Apple's Snow Leopard is barely even a blip on anyone's radar. PC gaming will continue to dominate....okay I kid, Ialways thoughtcontroller>KB/M. ANYWAY, Windows isn't going anywhere but up as far as 7 is concerned. Just as a bonus note: Microsoft's new Bing 'decision engine' is seeming more and more a revision than a rebrand. Hopefully this shakes up Google's iron grip on search and ads. Competition is alwaysgreat.

So now I'll ask: What has your favorite company done particularlywellin the past 3 months?

Toilet Paper is still being sold at a steady rate, causing steady production, thus allowing me to wipe my ass daily.

Quote for the win!! That is just epic right there lol!

Sorry but you're delusional. MS is doing the absolute minimum and are still relying heavily on their monopoly instead of fruititios innovation to stay atop. Have you ever heard of Google or Apple?lordxymor

Microsoft does NOT have a monopoly on the GAMING market. OS Market...of course, there is no question. They had no monopoly with the 2 Xboxs, so I don't see how you can say they are relying on it. With the NXE, decent/great inhouse games, and a boatload of 3rd party support, there is no way you can say Microsoft is doing minimum.

Apple...innovative? Yeah, that's a laugh and a half. The only innovation they have is advertising, when you compare their products to something of similar value (iPod< Zunes or Zens, Windows>OSX) They are full of fail. The iPhone is okay, if you need to get some real work done, which is why Blackberrys and WinMo devices still rule the business world. And if you wait to really game odds areyou'll pull out that DS or PSP and not an iPod Touch. Funniest iPod? If you are only talking about iPods than sure, best mobile gaming? lol

And Google? Well, for what it's worth, they have been doing a lot of interesting things lately especially with Android. Many of their projects are just attempts at loosening Microsoft's grip on the business/productiviy market. If they are going to do that they need to be way more agressive with courting business partners and need better, locally stored software. Google Docs won't cut it when the internet's down.However, in terms of functionality,I'd still use WinMo over Android becauseit has better functionality since Android is too new. Android will feel alot better once HTC finishes 'Rosie' interfaceon the Hero, though by then WinMo7 will be out and will use capacitive screens too, soAndroid still won't be all that attractive to me.

It's ok. It happens to everyone. The difference is that cool folks react like good sports, instead of UNLEASHING TEH ALL CAPS FURY or something like that. :)

6.5 comes out later this year, first devices that should use it are that Pro2 and Diamond2 from HTC via ROM update (they'll release using 6.1 initially). Leaked 6.5 can be flahed onto some devices now, most of which you can find at XDA Developers.

So.......where are the games?

Ragnarok1051

microsoft really does suck their console sold 30 million and they wont even respect their users by developering exclusive games for the platform?

what a bunch of ignorant no respect dumbaSSES

xbox360 has a larger user base than ps3 and yet microsoft wont even develop true exclusives for their platform.

while sony is pumping out quality exclusives left and right.

fine. by your logic

If MS is doing the absolute minimum and Sony can't surpass them overall, what chance does Sony have if MS put more effort?
