Just wondering.
Why do some of you hate Bill Gates and his Microsoft?
What's he done to you to make you hate him so much?

I only think he's a *face because his MSN randomly kicks me off in the middle of a convo.
Most annoying.

Also. How can you hate a Console? Or even the company that makes the consoles?
I don't get it.
"Fonee gaystation"
"my controller is beter than urs"
"mario is gay"
"x box is as big as my howse"
"my cats bref smels lyke cat foood"

So you have your Cube/Station'/XBox/Stick and Hoop and you love it, some of you even do kinky things with them. That’s all fine and dandy, but what I don't get is why some feel that they have to b*tch about other consoles/makers/whatever.
Does it make you feel big?
What has that console/maker done to you to make you hate them so much?

Please, indulge me.

i have developed a general hate for microsoft and everything they stand for. I have spent many hours swearing at my computer after getting illegible error messages which make no sense. Also the fact they now want you to pay for hotmail is rather annoying (well you don't have to but if you don't pay you have a limit on your inbox size) and the MSN thing, it just stops every so often, did it 3 times in 10 mins when i was trying to send a small file. Also i just don't like anything about the Xbox, and the fact that MS tried to buy nintendo is just an insult. They really have no idea bout consoles. The PS2 is pretty cool though. Much better than the xbox at least.

Have you actually played with one for longer than five minutes?
What don't you like about it? Tell me five GOOD reasons why you don't like the XBox.

Theres always been a size limit on Hotmail, you pay to have expanded facilities... Do you also hate Yahoo, and most of the other free e-mail providers who now do the same thing (did'nt Yahoo originally start the trend?)...

I've not used a messenger that doesnt fall over quite frequently... ICQ is always falling over, Yahoo messenger has problems if both users arnt using excatly the same version, and forces you to upgrade, etc... If nothing else, the service they provide is free.

> They really have no idea bout consoles.
Whereas Sony were the console kings pre-96?

Sorry about this, I don't mean to interrupt other peoples discussions, the reasons just seemed a little odd?

Why not? It's fun destroying someone elses creation, especially if raised on millions of pounds/dollars. We should all follow the example of these people and go around destroying the economy, plunging the world into madness before we are all swallowed by a wormhole.

Thrilling stuff.

"Does it make you feel big?"

Read above. And yes.

"What has that console/maker done to you to make you hate them so much?"

Produce a game that is so bad it should be stuffed in my pants or a game so excellent that we have to shun it to sound brilliantly controversial.

Good enough reasons for ye!? :)
