I completly agree with emineminhiding. Bill Gates is a con artists who gets rich off of scamming people. He deliberitly puts bugs into his operating systems, so everyone buys the new version when it comes out. Bill Gates can go to hell for all I care. He's as bad as Osama Bin Laden. |

Microsoft SUCKS!
Go Apple.
With the iPod making them rich and the intel chip in the Macbook Pro which is really fast i think Apple might take the market i hope so ive had Apples all my life and they're amazing.
Wether we prefer Mac or PC at least we can agree on 1 thing...
Linux sucks |

Microsoft's prodcuts barely work. Look at the 360. They had to recall them because they kept overheating. Almost exactly like with the original Xbox. |

Most of you have good points except eminem... Microsoft may have some ethical flaws but most of their products are decent. |
