I hope to god Microsoft fails bitterly at this. I hope to god. I hope they get sued for it as well. Punitive damages, anti-trust violation, the whole nine yards.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

I'm glad you see it in the same shitty light as I do.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

I think it doesnt sound like a half bad idea save for the whole "Vista Required" bullshit.

I also think the 5 point scale is good as well.

Its not who a person is in the inside, but what he does that defines him.

That 5 point scale will change in the future.

Microsoft does not think things through.

I don't like this plan for forcing games for Windows only.

I love how they make it seem like they're doing gaming a favor.

Like here... "......Microsoft hopes that PC gaming (under the 'Games for Windows' banner) will become less intimidating to mainstream consumers -- no longer will the PC games isle be a cluttered mess of disparate titles."

"I knew it. I'm surrounded by a$$holes!"

I Hate restrictions, I want to do what I want to do in this case They are telling me what to DO therefore I will Not be playing Games on a PC (VISTA) and Heck the only way I will Install Vista is if I get it for FREE and even then I will think about it.
Freedom, Free to Speak, Free to Think Free to Move around, Free to Play in any Machine I want

:-P
