This article starts out about why Microsoft doesnt develop software for the Zune HD, but goes onto talk about Microsoft's whole monopoly and their copycat scheme's.

Im interested to see what everyone else thinks about this, beware its a rather long read. :)

Quite a long read indeed. But its brilliant. I absolutely concur with everything the author mentioned in his article. Microsoft is nothing but a sucking, leeching parasite. No originality, nothing.

:D You should rep+ me so that I can win :D

I agree, I never really noticed it before but Microsoft hardly ever comes out with something new its just a different product of something already made.

This subject is what pisses me off about Microsoft. I like the Zune HD strictly for the look and feel of the media manager. However lately I've been feeling the urge to switch. The XNA framework is very limited when it comes to game developement and you have to pay alot to get the complete version. Apple is going to have another customer pretty soon.

Apple's a pretty closed environment, too. I've been pondering an Android phone, or just letting my computer be the computer :)
