I'd rather not have to "activate" my house every time I want to add something new. And would you really want a company that has this much trouble with the notion of security to be controlling access to your house? And knowing Microsoft you have to get the Microsoft car so that it would be compatible with the house.... it's all in the bundling you see...
Now on the other hand if you stuck the Osbournes in the Microsoft house you'd have comedy gold!:-)
With both Carmack and Romaro at id the games were that much better and neither is the same without the strengths of the other.
Carmack has always been about the drive and focus of getting the game done (especially from the technical side of things) while Romero has been all about the design and experience of a game.
I think that the games that each one have released since Romero left id speak for themselves. In id's past few games it noticibly felt like something was missing. The feel of the game wasn't quite the same without Romaro.
Similarly the problems Romero had with Daikatana showed that free form design in and of itself does not necessarily make a good or complete game.

The first one to say "All your precious are belong to us" gets a smack!

Yes, no root for you!
