I Agree : Before Thompson and Microsoft, RIAA / MPAA is really a pain in the ***. Microsoft did gave us the Xbox, and maybe halo wouldn't be where he is now if it wasn't for all the money invested in it by Microsoft. Suing kids and making the life of your consumer a pain is really what I consider evil.
Oh wait, Microsoft do that too... But least often than the RIAA / MPAA.
Example 1: Xbox 360 VS Wii Example 2: Zune VS Ipod Example 3: IIS VS Apache Example 4: Windows Live Search VS Google
As for the console market, I think Sony had it coming, with their overpriced PS3. This is somewhere where Microsoft did put a good product on the market, with an innovating offer (Xbox live). And Microsoft didn't try to copy Nintendo's Wiimote, Sony did!
