From my experience the female either will like games or not. It's pretty black and white. Pretty much all of them will try the Wii. But after that when they see a controller they think it looks very complicated and they don't like holding them.

[QUOTE="wooooode"]Apple is ten times better thread over.Vyse_The_Daring

Then I'm sure you're eternally grateful that MS saved Apple by purchasing shares. :)

Did you also know Microsoft is the largest maker of software for Apple systems besides Apple themselves? ;)

guess you don't know much about microsoftnaval
Please show me how they aren't collaborative? You could have chosen many things I said to call me out on, but that one is the weakest argument you have.

Ok, lets see, they started off by making software for other companies' OS. They then made their own OS to run on other companies' hardware. They support developers intesively to develop on their platforms. They get media companies to sell their content through their platforms. Steve Jobs even said he admires Microsoft for how collaborative they are. Honestly, the two points you cannot deny is Microsoft is very collaborative and they have very nice R&D.

You could call them out on their business strategy of reach out, embrace, consume. Or their bundling of software if you are EU :P. Or their stability in the past but collaboration? No way.

Nvidia is betterLonelynight
Ah, but without Microsoft NVIDIA is nothing really. This is what I mean by Microsoft being awesome for the collaboration. Apple only started to collaborate recently because they realized they have to in order to survive. So I'll accept you loving NVIDIA but you must agree that Microsoft is very good for giving them the opportunity to exist.

This is ignoring the whole dreamy land of Linux. I like Linux but that's just too much of a dream so I still stick with Micrsoft.

btw,i rwinning guys lolz

Microsoft sucks in Hardware! look at the xbox 360!navneet21
Microsoft is actually quite good at making hardware. This can be a industry joke about them because they are mostly a software producer. Admittantly they messed up with the 360. They rushed it to get the jump on the competition, which was a smart business decision, but it caused they to misscalculate on the hardware and it had the infamous hardware failure heat issue.

The thing is Microsoft has admitted to this (as much as a company will) and took a huge hit on the warranty they issued. All new systems have since had the issue fixed as far as I know. So even though they did make a misstake, it was for an understandable reason and they did quite a lot to make up for it. Besides that their hardware is very superb (mouses and keyboards etc).

Microsoft is not the best at anything it does including but not limited to, OS, Office Productivity, Database, Personal Media Player, Videogames, Videogame hardware.

They are the best at being a successful mega corporation which they are. Of course they will not be the best at everyone of those niche markets when smaller more innovative companies are more agile. But what Microsoft has the power to do is build up large amount of capital to invest in R&D that can benefit society as a whole. Also being in many market sectors allows them to integrate all their products in a seamless manner (something they need to work on more but are getting better at).

The point is you may not like Microsoft but they exist for a reason and without them life would be much worse. If you can realize that you will start to see why they are very good to have around and you will probably be a happier person.

Many of the other replies kinda show my point that many people simply hate Microsoft for their position with no real thought put into it. Simply listen to Bill Gates talk sometime, he is unreal. He actually feels he should be taxed more, eh? How is that for a modest person.

Apple is ten times better thread over.wooooode
To understand why you would say that you must look at the situation. Currently Apple is a fashionable trend with little reason for liking them besides they aren't totally aweful that it is bad for you to like them.

If the roles were reverse and Apple was the huge market leader and Microsoft was the underdog people would feel differently. Many people fail to step back and look at the two companies overall. Microsoft is successful because they work with other companies, they are very collaborative. Apple on the other hand wants to do everything themselves in an arrogant manner. (Make their own hardware and software only). If Apple were to be on a much larger scale then our world would be aweful. If you think Microsoft is monopolistic imagine Apple as the market leader. That would be horrendous, which is why Apple is not the market leader.

Think of Microsoft as a huge R&D entity that collects our dollars and uses them to develop good, useful technology. Obviously there will be some misshaps but for the most part they have given much more to our society than they have hurt. They have no real option than to be monopolistic. Imagine if there were like 5 different main operating systems, the incompatibility would be horrible.

?wtf is microsoft?johneese
"Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) (SEHK: 4338), is an Americanmultinationalcomputer technology corporation." - Wikipedia

If you were just trolling then "wtf is a microsoft" would have been appropriate.

What they mean by point loss is that they dock you a level, so say for if you are like me and you were a lv 39 Max Force, and you forget that System Wars frowns on using more than 5 quotes in a post, this is something punishable by docking you a level per post, so a sufficiently long chain could easily cost you 3-4 levels or so.mikemil828

I understand the concept. I just don't think it is a big deal. I guess some people out there are pretty obsessive about it though, eh?
