I dislike much about MS, but there's much to like though.
They have one of the best browsers on the market, W2k is a good stable OS and the Xbox!
I personally modded my Xbox (And it works great!) so I could have a entertainment system, instead of "just" a gaming console.
That way I get more for my money.
I buy my CDs and rip them to MP3, I buy the games I play and backup them on my HDD, I buy my DVD movies and I even backup some of them.
I also "backup" some games and play it for an hour or two, it it sucks I delete it, it it rocks I buy it.
Why? Because I can, It's easy to do, and then I have easy xs to them on my Xbox... Now tell me, how the "feck" am I hurting MS?
And Feck, downloading MP3s is illegal. The music industry and most of all the musicians loose alot of money because of that.
