Why can't Microsoft make a quality product?

well, think this way... if they actually make a quality product, who's gonna buy the new shinny "upgrades" they come up 3 years from now?

 

There is no market advantage in making a reliable games console. Nobody chooses a games console based on MTBF, the only thing that matters is first to market - or getting enough onto the shelves in time for christmas.

No it isn't - in computer terms it's only a standard disaster.

It only stop working on one day every four years - just reboot every new presidential inauguration!

 

Get a PS3. Its a much better product.

 

There's your answer. It's as good as it has to be.

 

Operating systems, game counsels, and other like products are very difficult to design and manufacturer, you cant expect them to be perfect. If you think microsoft is so bad, then why buy their products? Most people do it because there is no one that makes a better that is even good enough to compete.

 

If only there were some viable alternatives to putting up with Microsoft's crap. If I can think of any I'll help you out...

Nothing. Seems my mind got off track there...

 

Precious. :rofl:

 

Microsoft Works is an oxymoron!
:rofl::rofl:

 

Can you even get MS works on a PC anymore?

 

Yes, the new works comes with office 2007 and excel 2007.

 

That doesn't make any sense. MS office 2007 is a suite which contains excel 2007 among other software. MS Works was MS's version of Open Office that was free to use.

 

I wonder if its because my dad also has word 2007 and excel 2007 if they replace the other ones in open office. I didn't realise he did have them although they could be part of the free trial versions.
