Microsoft Is the Most Exciting Company in Tech, Hands Down

[DarkNemesis]

I can't stop laughing. That's so stupid.

I almost fell out of my chair.They can't even make a decent IE or get Windows working without bugs.

Whatever they have done in the past, doesn't really matter does it? The excitement is for what they are bringing to the table now.

The only company with a radically redesigned and re-imagined OS, spreading compatibility amongst all the new devices (win 8 phones, tablets, PC's, Xbox)...

There is a lot of basis for being excited about what MS is hoping to accomplish.

Of course, there will be haters, but even the most jaded of techies has to be interested to see if Smart Glass and Win 8 stuff really grabs hold and works as promised.

Surprisingly, Gizmodo usually despises MS products, so this was quite surprising to see from their editor.

They seem to be on a roll lately with kinect, surface, windows 8, and smart glass.

Surface looks cool but windows 8 looks like some POS and i hope its not supported by game devs on the PC.

I got it to pretty much work as Windows 7 has with a few apps and also was able to get rid of the watermark.

But somewhere between the launch of the Xbox 360 and the release of Vista, Microsoft started to approach design—industrial, UI and UX—with genuine interest, instead of treating it as an obligation.

it was better when they treated it as an obligation. when it comes to design, the simpler the better.

Steve Sinofsky is the reason MS has taken a dramatic change in their Windows & Window hardware ideology.

In my opinion he saved MS.

Now if they would only get rid of Don Mattrick before he ruins the MS Xbox brand any further.

Yes, I'm not fond of Mattrick one bit. I'm not discussing who he is as a person or how he comes across but I'm not very fond of his business decisions nor the direction he has taken the XBOX brand in the last 2-3 years.

Peter Moore was a better fill for the position imo.

I'd rather see Phil Harrison take the position honestly.

Yep I agree. And yeah I was referring to Mattricks business decisions and the direction he has taken the brand as well.

Mattrick needs a haircut.

[A7MAD]

He should go back to EA.
