  4. Re:Passport's failure on Microsoft Loses Passport · · Score: 1

    Microsoft was way to presumptuous thinking that consumers would allow theirselves to be stuck with another microsoft product. Sure most people use windows but that's because they're forced to.

  12. Translation on Microsoft Not Worried about FireFox · · Score: 1

    We have a very, very innovative set of capabilities that we're putting in the next version.

    An example of things not compatable with firefox are, windows updates, WUS (Windows update services), or anything with microsoft.com in it.

  13. Re:EA isn't about games on Ubisoft CEO Speaks out Against EA Move · · Score: 1

    I think you hit the nail on the head. Ever since they cared more about money than the quality of the game, the games progressivly got worse. However the quality of the game doesnt mean anything anymore because they know stupid parent is going to buy the game.

    But who can blame them?

    All EA had to do for sports games was simply append the current year to the game title and people would buy it.

    Jim Russell was just stupid.

    It's apparent that he simply doesnt care for the business aspect of his work. Thats not a bad thing because it allowed him more time to focus on more productive things.

    It would be a hugle gamble in spending the time/money in battling Sony and Phillips in court.
