And also the no. of Linux Apache servers compared to Windows servers will tell you the story about how well MS is in the server market! [/QUOTE
Yeah, Hey HiH, if my apache breaks who should I contact?
The point is not about the sales volume for the XBox, but the fact that the XBox has been selling at a loss especially at times when MS announced a $1billion fund into replacement and warranty due to the ROD issues on the XBox. How will you understand that?
When did PS3 started making a profit on every hardware sales
. In other news I just heard that Microsoft decreased the cost of XBOX 360 & games are also coming at lower cost then usual $50/DVD. WOW, they are doomed, now they are hardly making any money. Hey, ever heard about the fact that with more production, the cost of production decreases over time which is whats going on with XBOX right now, MS is loosing money which they gain by software services for XBOX Live etc, but the amount of money they are loosing is less then what they used to before & its much lower then what PS3 is loosing per console.
Ever thought why Wii is so cheap to produce? Cos the Wii technology isn't much new or Hi end. inside a Wii, its still much like GmaeCube hardware which means low cost of production. Ask nintendo to come up with a completely new GPU/CPU & then see whether they increase the price of Wii or not.
you dont' know anything about computing that you just stick to something that is commonly used by people who don't know how to use computers or you are simply a ProMS!
So, I m an idiot if I want to get my work done quickly, chat with my gf on Yahoo webcam, talk to sister via VoIP & for this I pay for Windows Vista & don't want to work on Linux hunting for a good software for Webcam chat & make sure it runs on her OS too, or...talk to sister on VoIP & make sure it runs on her OS too. Just u can have such logic....Linux is getting easier, but come back & talk to me in 2012 when Linux is as good as Vista today.
That it's the right of every person to have 'affordable computing' and not squeeze the money out of people who just want to use a computer because they have to!
Yup, reduce cost of Software, no need to make it free. Software developer bhi insaan hi hota hai, he also needs to buy ration & flowers for GF
Yeah, the entire live package has been the most horrible piece of online application I have ever seen in my life, after MS shifted to live services, because of the big pain in the wrong place due to loading times and system resources issue,
So its ok to wait to load GMail for 5 mins, but not Ok to load Hotmail for 3 mins. Gr8 logic. U say google is more user friendly, hmm....how many features does it provides compared to MS services? Does Google talk provides webcam? Or Conferencing? Hey, WLMessenger does. How about blogger? Can I share my Google Talk contacts in Blogger, nope. But hey I can do that in Live Spaces (Example).
If a product is low on features, obviously it will be low on resources.

One word-let the monopoly of microsoft shattered,the world will be much better with a lot of options and more stable Platforms.
What monopoly? It is the choice of user to use what they want. Did MS came to your room, broke it & told u two use Windows. How do u think it became a monopoly at the first place? Just cos people liked it over everything else & started buying it resulted in a high market share.
In India we have maruti cars & Hundai cars. Maruti cars are in a very large quantity compared to Hundai, so does that makes maruti a Monopoly? People buy Maruti cos they want it, they like it. No one is stopping them from buying Santro.
not blaming microsoft alone all those music rights groups in the name of fair use are really limiting the ppl from using Vista with DRM
DRM in its current form is bad indeed. But tell me, should Avril Lavigne give her Video & audio songs & album for free? I hope u know who she is, hope u r not "that" geek.
. U hate DRM, fine. Think & come up with a way for the artist to save there property & art & labor first plz.
Monopolies at any field means users(you!) are forced to use whatever they pressurize on you directly or indirectly
When did MS started forcing u to use Windows? No seriously, tell me if they did I will sue them myself.
Many ppl see Bill gates as a genius-but i see him as a good marketer.
Doesn't good marketing art means he is a genius?
otherwise OSS movement shud have grown much more than what @1980's RMS envisaged.
Lolz...where was Linux in 1980?
ppl & countries shud ban Microsoft products or atleast discourage the use of windows OS alternately use Linux or any available options even MAC(dont care)
Isn't this limiting user choices to Linux only? If U ban Windows in India, what do u think will be the state of Indian IT, banking, Education sector?
also heard that Vista's big system requirements are due to for the controlling of DRM effectively and SP1 too will be mostly a DRM update
I hereby declare that u don't know anything of how DRM in Vista works & how Windows works or how a HD DVD drive works computer work.

ust showing what is my personal opin after going through the www and using alternate OS Linux.
Uncle, first lower your affinity towards Linux
what i want to convey is People can think that there are other options here too which the savvy or normal computer users can consider
Oh...k, here is a marketing tip. Print some ads, teach people in educational institutions about Linux, & also tell them that there hardware which works fine in Windows might not work in Linux. Property softwares won't work On Linux. 3Ds Max, Photoshop, AutoCAD, Toxic, Octane won't run on Linux...Doom 3 won't run on Linux, NFS Carbon won't work on Linux...Yahoo webcam won't work on Linux. Then come back here & tell me how many switched

Monopoly:
1> exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market, or a control that makes possible the manipulation of prices
2.> the market condition that exists when there is only one seller.
1) Does MS moves the CPU Industry? Do MS makes the toaster industry too?
2) Is there only one OS Seller out there? What happened to Red Hat, suse, Apple?
With every windows upgrade, you end up changing hardware to be compatible, existing hardware is not compatible and what not? MS forces the users to throw their existing hardware withing even sometimes hardly 3 months once they bought it.
Hmm...how long has it been i bought my computer? 4 years I guess, in august 2003. What have I upgraded? Oh...just my RAM. Did MS forced me to do that? Nope....3ds Max did...but hey, somehow it is the fault of MS.
Take the example of directX. Microsoft has made a lot of money of this one sigle product, making revisions when ever they feel like not keeping the customer in mind that he will need to go get new hardware for it.
DirectX 9 came in 2002, DX 10 Came in 2007. Right, MS should not develop technology at all....then when game makers say "We need more shaders" MS will say "Go to hell, use what u have". Yaar...how the hell u became an admin.
Intel Pentium 3 came in 1999, Intel should be closed & banned for producing Pentium 4 which gave more performance per watt cos this made people buy new hardware too...right?
It blindfolds the user into believing that the new technology is a lot better than the existing one and fool them into buying new hardware on which they too make a profit out of.
Wait, WMV 10 gives me better Video Quality then MPEG1...but no...MS is blind folding me
...they both look same right?
It used to take 3 hrs to rip a DVD with Pentium 3, but with Pentium 4 it only took 30 mins....Intel & MS should be banned according to your logic for making computing faster for us.
One question, why would you ever want to upgrade from WinXP to Vista? Why? Only one answer! DX10!!
Thats it, u proved what kind of admin r u
, & how much your admin knowledge is. Why upgrade from Fedora 2 to fedora 7 then when the only thing new is the kernel. Its not like Fedora 2 isn't playing your mp3, right?
MS itself is trying to create a market scenario for selling it's own product by cheating the end user. That is what monopoly is if you still don't understand.
So it is wrong to give gamers better quality graphics?
Surface computers are already in sale in the US if you are not aware and don't be dreaming that they will come to India or that you can buy one.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHH U r more big fanboy then arya is. Where did u find a surface computer for home for sale? No seriously I want to buy one
kya bol rahe ho yaar ... any thing luxry is selling like hot cakes .... ferari is high end customers ... and ferrair is doomed 
... porsche is high end i didnt know porsche is doomed
