Your proof for this is what exactly? Or are you basing this on your personal beliefs that MS is evil and therefore must do evil things.

Ya its too bad the 360 FFXI players won't be able to attach to the same servers as the PS2 and PC players.
Oh wait. Never mind.

Since when is mindless bashing of a game you just don't like for very little reason insightful?
The UI scales unless your blind or doing something stupid like running it at 4096x3072. The PC and xbox 360 look and work just fine. The FFXI 360 port doesn't use Live at all. You need to have the free version of Live because the hardware requires it. The game attaches to a service completely different from Live, so again why wouldn't the POL viewer?
The only reason that WoW 'couldn't' be ported to the XBox is either Blizzard is too lazy, or they know that it will just further piss of their customers to have to extend the waiting list to get on.
There are valid complaints to be made for every game but you made none of them, instead choosing to treat Blizzard as some sort of god on earth.

restricting the users' rights
As opposed to, oh I don't know, some random person advocating restricting users rights to run what they choose to on their system.
Some people are going to want to run and use DRM-ified content. You are trying to restrict their rights to do so by demonizing a technology that can not be evil so as to push forward your own agenda.
Information does not want to be free, it can't want anything. Software does not have rights, computers do not have rights. People do have the right to use their system the way they want, and that includes choosing systems that use DRM.
A truly free system allows the user to choose how to use it, it is not one where the developers force their agenda.
A) 1 minute reboot into another OS or B) Spend who knows how much time setting up an application to emulate the other OS so you can play a game for it, provided you play what everyone else plays, or spending even more time hacking the code to play the game if its not what others decided you should be playing.
shutdown -r now is hardly a pain in the ass compared to the alternative. A computer and its OS is a tool, use the right tool for the right job. For games, Linux is not the right tool.

No but it would lend support to the statement that he's a moron and should make you take other things that he has said on similar subjects with a grain of salt.
Calling into question ones expertise and intelligence regarding a subject when talking about their positions on similar subjects is not strictly an ad hominum attack because their abilities are at the core of their ability to even create their argument. For instance, I know nothing about cars beyond how to drive one. One day I start spouting out something about them. Saying 'but he knows nothing about cars,' is not an ad hominum attack because my abilities, knowledge and experience are directly related to my ability to make a correct argument on this subject.
In interviews with SE they have said the level cap will not be increased and there are no current plans to do so.
Level 75 is going to be the highest you can go for the foreseeable future.
And as a viewer of Family Guy, I've never heard this retort before. Ever. Its like the most original thing I've seen this month. 'Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!'
there's no reason why Microsoft wouldn't support these new Apple machines natively in Windows. MS is selling software, they don't care what hardware you run it on... converting users away from Macs all together
So which is it? Does MS have a reason to pull people away from Macs or not?
What provides a more accurate idea of the sound experience under normal use for most people? Is it:
A)a sound-isolated listening booth
or
B)a busy Apple store
How it sounds and how it sounds when I'm using it can be two different things, and personally I'd be more interested in the latter. Going and listening to it is better advice then taking some random slashdotters word for it.
