And as much as Breznev was man of future, Steve Ballmer is a man for great future of Microsoft.

Die Microsoft, die soon. Nobody really miss you.

When the fact is that PC graphics has been better than console graphics. I can’t wait for Killzone 2 to come out an watch you sit at a big table full of crow.

Also, ubuntu is not serious competitor for Windows. While GNU/Linux is ages ahead of Windows, ubuntu is on of the more flawed and buggy versions of GNU/Linux yet. If anyone hope to seriously overtrow th Micro$oft monopoly (like myself) we need to refer people to WORKING operating systems, such as Debian -GNU/Linux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Gentoo, and so on. Evene trow OpenBSD in the mix, their approach to security is unparalleled.

As for the 360, Zune, and the like: Those were jokes. They seriously cannot compete with the serious offers out there. Also, GNU/Linux has long dominated the server marked, and is rising to be THE embedded OS.

Long live Free Software.

MS has it’s core products as Windows and Office, Windows as a server is becoming old hat, as a lot of major companies are swapping to a linux server/windows end user setup, it’s the server software that brings in the cash not the end user product as you can charge a few 1,000 for the server software and then X amount per year for IT support.

because a lot of major companies are slowly turning to linux for the server they are also looking at the Openoffice software for the office side of things.

in terms of broswers it’s hard to say I perfer IE over most then Opera then what ever else is out there.

The Zune died last year and MS shut down that area completely, any sold today would be left overs from this section.

The 360 is selling in the USA but the software sales side doesn’t seem to be working for a lot of companies EA actually makes alot more money off PS3 titles than 360 titles.

The major problem for MS is that it’s core sections Windows/Office are being killed off pretty quickly a lot quicker than expected from MS, and they are now trying to sure it up by doing MS business loans etc to buy their products.

While their core product markets are shirking they will be working out what to keep and get rid off, I’m think the 360 section will be killed off.

In terms of pure sales Sony actually out sells MS 360 3 to 5 times the amount per week, you need to look at product share Sony has 3 products and MS only has 1 a lot of people are missing this by thinking it’s just PS3 and 360, Sony won’t be looking at the market in this way.

All Sony has to do is drop the PS2 and PS3 sales get a boost as people get the hint it’s time to swap to the PS3.

Personnaly I’m thinking MS will try for 1 to 2 years then probably kill off the 360 product as they will have been forced into protecting their core markets, this has already begun but everything they have tried isn’t working for them.

The Windows platform and 360 are their strongest points right now, despite Vista’s failure. Windows 7 will do pretty good, and the 360 is right where Microsoft wants it to be(on top). Both have great potential, so long as MS doesn’t f*ck up.

Microsoft is in a pretty good spot right now if you ask me.

Goodbye microsoft, hope i never see any of your products in my hand again.
I’ve never actually been happy with any microsoft product. I dont mind the 360… i am, however, on my third one. Yes, its an elite.
Once it breaks, its going in the trash. im not even gonna get the warranty on it… i’ve bought a PS3 and a Mac, i see no reason to keep buying games for that thing. Especially with its compressed audio… i cant stand the audio on it.
Anyway, yes- Microsoft is rather screwed at the moment. The reason Vista failed is because nobody wanted a new OS. Thus, no drivers were developed. Do they really think developing ANOTHER OS is going to fix that? Seriously? The only thing anybody liked about vista was the look of it – which i personally hated. …which is why i skinned it when i had it.

Again, i love my mac. I even have Windows XP on it so i can play all windows games i feel like playing. Any programs i want to run – whether it be for mac or windows – can be run on the mac using parallels. I really see no reason to own a PC…
I also have linux on my PS3. I cant figure out how to use it for shit though, so it pretty much never gets touched. haha.

So yup. Goodbye Microsoft. I enjoy watching your users switch to better products.

Xbox 360 in trouble? ABSOLUTELY!!!

It’s a good thing that Microsoft make (And will clearly continue to make) most of their money from IT software. If they relied on the 360 for income they would be bankrupt by now…………
