That's what marketing is all about. Microsoft can concievably say that their statement about Linux compared to Microsoft is valid. It's basically a lie of omission. They left out the part about paying a whole lot on the computer used to support it. That's the point of a marketing committee, to find creative ways to get people to buy your product or follow your cause. It does come close on the line of ethics but most people will see, hey I will save money by buying from these people, a name that they already know very well.
Well I love Halo and have been able to beat it twice by myself on Ledgendary, it is hard. I needed help the first time though. So I have beaten it a total of 3 times. Man I love it. It's the ease of gameplay and mainly I'd say the whole interactivity with most of your environment. To tell you the truth, this is the only game I have actually found a use for the grenade and they are very effective, just like it should be. Everything from the sounds the other species make (Elites- "Wut wut wut"), to the ability to have CPU riders on your Warthog that actually use their AI and fire accurately on enemies. Also, most games have loads of clip. Clip = walking through part of or full objects. I have only seen one instance of this in Halo and it was where I was intentonally overloading the map with grenades on one spot and trying to blow up a Warthog into a tree, only the tire partially went in. I have watched the E3 demo movie for Halo 2 and being able to now hold double weapons and all kinds of new guns and vehicles, it will be great. Better graphics too, they've moved the release date back so much though because Halo was still selling quite well, I wish they would just get on with this one...I already have it preordered, not gonna be available for at least 2 months otherwise.
