You got a video of this? Or the name of the event? I love listening to orchestral renditions of video game music 
Microsoft hatred .. Were they right?
- Thread starter britboy4321
- Start date
They do not endear themselves to the geek circles either though - I can name a long long list of evils and bad things Microsoft has done over the years
Everything is not forgotten over one single event (hell I can name an evil Microsoft did within the past few months).

Funny, you could probably name a long list of 'evils' that every company has done. They're a company after all, not your best friend.
No, but some companies try to offer you the best possible thing and offer it in a manner that is nice and good - Microsoft don't do that really - just look at all the XBox 360 "exclusive" games that will never see the light of day on the other Microsoft platform ... the Windows PC
Look at them trying to sell patents just the other week to a patent troll so that the patent troll can then use them to sue Linux vendors (as MS does not want to sue them directly for fear of being sued back or due to the negative publicity and anti-competition probes) - luckily OIN outsmarted them
As I said, it will take a while for good behaviour and very good service to change the geeks perception of MS

As a 360 gamer Microsoft have offered me plenty of exclusives. There is no reason for Microsoft to get exclusive games for the PC.
Why is that? The PC is the superior platform afterall
That's a subjective matter.
That depends on your point of view. From a developer's point of view, it's a platform that will sell a lot less and be pirated a lot more than a console one. You'll also have to spend ages making sure your game works with dozens of different hardware configurations. It's no wonder there are hardly any PC exclusive developers anymore.

1. That's a matter of opinion
2. Because Microsoft actually manufacture the 360, they have a far bigger interest in it naturally. They are a company whose reason for existence is to make money.

It's big brother crowd syndrome.
No matter who goes in or comes out the dor they all get one hell of a booing, Mother Teresa walks out those doors and they'd boo her for the sake of it.
This is new modern Britian. No respect in society.

They make money from having games on the 360 - royalties, console sales, Live subscriptions. They make nothing from PC game sales, unless they get a few peanuts for the use Games For Windows branding.
So your friend is blaming it on the Microsoft guy that Vista was apparently *poor*.
It is likely that this guy had nothing to do with the production of Vista.
Yes the Windows platform does have it's ups and down, but certainly not enough to be that rude and disgusting, especially after they gave all of those free goodies away.
