Shoulda went with nintendo. As soon as they incorporate Wii Fit into a custom OS, MS are finished.

Stats_

I lost around $400 with nintendo and gained about $2000 with AMD over the past three months. AMD went from 5.54 a share of when i bought them to almost $10 as of now.

Microsoft is not the best idea for investing regardless of what you think. A tip, buy low, sell high (durr) and investing in the stock market is like the lottery, its hard and random... Goodluck.

It's not really like the lottery unless you don't do any research and just buy randomly.

[QUOTE="Stats_"]

[QUOTE="angelkimne"]I just installed Linux for the first time after my previous hard drive collapsed, and honestly, the only thing that makes Windows worth the money is the compatibility. Ubuntu is faster, more customizable and 100% free.

angelkimne

I'd imagine compatibility is the number one thing people want. Obviously the OS with the most bells and whistles is gonna run slower then a far more streamlined one.

My point is that considering what you can get for free with Linux, I'd of thought that Windows - costing as much as it does - would offer much more than it does in reality. But I guess that's what happens with a monopoly; they can make it cost as much and offer as little as they want in terms of new features but it will still be no. 1 simply for the fact it's the one operating system that all programs are going to work for. The one that everyone's used to. The standard. /rant

Being number one has made them lazy. i.e Windows Vista.

On a side note, your sig always makes me want to reinstall KOTOR, but it has issues with Windows 7 funnily enough ... So much for the compatibility argument :(

Kenny man, you need some help. You had an emo breakdown over something as trivial as game sales list not long ago (that was quite sad might i add) and now you've been a full time trader all along. If you are so fragile over a game sale list what makes you think anyone would believe you are a trader for that matter that would have to put of with much more frequent shocks in a turbulent stock market. What i gather is that this is some attempt at trying to be 'pwnage' proof (like it even matters ANY) and justifying it with the angle that since you are emotionally invested to one company and financially to the other you are always in a win win situation. You are spending far too much energy into this whole thing and are quite delusional and many more people than i would have imagine are feeding into this crap and indirectly encouraging your self-destructive behavior. You lack the fortitude to commit to anything and the balls to hold your ground figuratively and otherwise. If you seek self-validation, assurance, and emotional vindication there are better ways than trolling a forum.

Why did you post this in System Wars? The 360 is probably one ofthe least selling products in the whole Microsoft corporation, next to all the software they sell.

I disagree. Although MS has a large share of the OS market, it is in no way a monopoly. Actually, now is probably the farthest away its ever been from being a monopoly. More people have mac's nowadays than ever before, its become trendy to own a mac. That being said, yes Xbox does have a high attach rate, and fanboys will buy anything xbox related. The same can be said for some Sony fanboys, including TVs. Sony is one of the largest electronic manufactures in the world, not only do they STILL sell PS2 in its... what 11th? year... but also they focus on their televisions and blu ray players just as much as their PS3, and PSP. Now all that being said, I notice in your sig, you say that you are a 0 % fanboy of Nintendo. IF you were going to invest in a gaming company, Nintendo would probably be the one to do it in. They make money selling consoles, Sony and MS don't. And they've sold more than the PS3 and 360 combined, and will most likely continue to do so. Even though my Wii is collecting dust, people still buy them like crazy. Honestly, MS is probably the worst to invest in.

Macs aren't only trendy and pretty to look at. They're better designed, faster and more reliable than Windows systems purely because Windows makes your computer run slower and slower everyday. I still haven't worked out how because whenever I run Windows, i never update it or download anything to make my PC run slower. I think their OS just eats hardware for breakfast or something.

Being number 1 in what context, global sales. Besides, OSX is packed with more features yet still remains more streamlined than any Windows OS since 98. You may call MS lazy, I say they're not as computer literate as people imagine them to be. Oh, and in terms of compatibility, people are learning about computers more and more. And linux is becoming more universal and easier to use. Unless MS change their policies, i predict the end of Windows to be around 2020. Fortunately, their programming skills are good enough to keep the company afloat without Windows OS.
