Golly gee you are right Brian. We here at the FUCKMICROSOFT.COM forums should like the xbox. How about you go join an xbox forum if you like it so much.

Seconded. Why the hell would anyone like the xbox? It's a second rate pile of crap, and its only real use is Linux. I'd like to someday be showing off my network to someone, point at an xbox in a corner, and say "that's the router and email server". :D

Oh I'm sorry I thought this site was about how Microsoft sucks because they monopolize the industry and make it look like anyone who doesn't use Windows software is a retard who obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. I can hate Microsoft and like their product you know...I mean...people still download Metallica (ie for your small brain...they don't agree with Metallica on filesharing issues but still like their music)
Second...there are these things for the XBox called "Video Games." You should try them some day..they are really fun to play and give the XBox a use (besides Linux of course)

Hating Microsoft and hating their product are, as you allude to, two different things. Microsoft itself is despicable, and for the good of the world needs to be disbanded. Hating its products doesn't come quite hand in hand with hating it... but it's extremely easy to confuse the two. I hate most of its products because they're designed to force costly upgrades and make switching to a non-M$ platform impossible, thus maintaining the illegal monopoly.

I play video games just as much as anyone else. But I believe the games that have been released for Xbox have been substandard and are just no fun... which make video games a non-use. Once that's eliminated, the only viable uses for it are paperweight and low-cost Linux box. I'm not sure about you, but I don't spend $200 on a paperweight.
And one more thing: Flaming a mod (or any other non-Troll member) for a perfectly reasonable and logical opinion is a very BAD thing to do if you want to be respected here.

Oh you are right Brian, we should all dance around saying how much we hate Microsoft, but at the same time support its monopoly by using its products.
I don't think you understand what this site is about. I refuse to use Microsoft products. I formatted XP off my hard drive the day I bought my PC. I only use linux, every day. I don't buy Microsoft software, I don't play xbox games. I refuse to buy a stupid Microsoft mouse. I will not support Microsoft in anyway, I even decided against becoming an MCSE, regardless of how many jobs are available, just because I want nothing to do with them.
When I say FUCK MICROSOFT, I mean it!!!!!

I wasn't flaming (*edit* Yes I was..and I'm sorry *edit*) you, but I don't appreciate when someone calls a product that I bought with my own money and happen to love a "second rate piece of crap." You know, I watched Cabin Fever yesterday, which got rave reviews, but all of the people who watched it with me (as well as myself) thought it was stupid. It doesn't mean that I am going to insult it, because I know that other's out there like it. Now I may say "in my opinion, Cabin Fever wasn't scary at all and they wrapped it up too quickly, leaving many elements unexplained" but I won't say "yeah that movie sucked."
See what I mean? Everyone is allowed to have an opinion, but I would appreciate it if you stated it as an opinion.
Also, I do apologize if I came off as rude, as I was tired when I wrote it and ironically just had a discussion about why I thought XBox Live was better than the PS2 online gaming, so to come on and read all that was just..well.."argh"
