Welcome to the AI forums, but coming in here lambasting and pigeonholing posters before you have firm grasp of the typical comments is just asinine. Unless, of course, you are looking to be attacked. After all, by making generalization about posters here, which you are now a part of makes you one of the people you are so rudely attacking.
PS: With Moto/IBMs slow upgrade process I think everyone is quite happy with the Intel change. The only complaint you'll hear here is regarding buying a new Mac which is updated only a month or two later. C'est la vie.
I'll remember that the next time I kill a 10,000+ client Novell network and replace it with a Microsoft backbone, and then net a 30% reduction in operation cost.
Oh wait, I've done that already - four times, two of which were banks. What have you done IT related this year my friend?
Halo3 netted $300 million in a week, so perhaps somebody here doesn't understand the concept of cash flow -vs- long term profit prospects. I'm guessing you have some sympathy for Sony or something.
Then again it's ok for Apple to incorporate all the software they want into their OS while Lawyers carrying Apple Laptops line up to sue Microsoft when MS simply wants to incorporate a media player in their own OS.
Um, well, by 'failure' I meant commerical/financial failure - but your example, I think, seems to fall under the 'OS' category - which is obviously somewhat of a cash-cow for MS.
And it will take *many* Halo3s to offset the $6B lost on Xbox so far.
- which isn't going to happen as even Bungie has abandoned MS.
And you should remember that MS is a convicted monopolist - unlike Apple.
But in terms of sympathy, I do have sympathy for companies that make good products, profitably, only to be squeezed out of the market by a MS's anti-competitive business techniques. I'm not sure Sony is quite in that category yet, but you'd have to have a very short memory not to be able to name quite a few companies off the top of your head.

Sorry, not happening.....
