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.

It's not the X-box, OR Playstation 2 I hate, it's the people who defend them. Granted, I don't really like X-box(because Microsoft DO try to buy there way through everything), but that doesn't mean I don't think it's good. I've played Turok Evo. on it, and that rocks.

You get the gimps who say "GC is s\\t, PS2 is way better". This just makes me go into overdrive, and say random hateful thoughts which have no real meaning to me.

In short: Why do people STILL let their dogs "foul" on the pavement?

I don't really hate Bill Gates, especially seeing as he's left a lot to charity and his family for when he eventually pops his cloggs. I don't like the Microsoft Brand though - overpricing office suites (the programs that is, not furniture), plenty of errors, bugs, patches, etc, etc.

That could be to do with a number of things - poor connection, slow transmission, too many people on the same MSN server, etc, etc. It probably wasn't Bill Gates who programmed MSN Messenger anyway.

If you dislike it a lot, it can happen. Just like you can hate a particular colour, place or chair in the front room.

Or even the company that makes the

People hate other organisations, so it is possible to hate money making companies.

Without differences in opinions, this gaming message board may never have been set up, as otherwise it would become extremely boring.

Why not? People do it with cars, clothes and girls! Why should consoles be any different?

Does swearing make little children feel big?

35 years ago, I gave Bill Gates a plate of corn muffins to paint my chicken coop - he still ain't finished!
