Despite their having a corporate motto of, "Evil only looks bad if you recognize the existence of good", I used to have a ton of respect for Microsoft and the people working there. People like David Cutler, Jim Grey, Paul Allen. And a guy who drops out of Harvard to move to the tech mecca of Alburquerque in pursuit of a career in personal computers at a time when saying people would own their own computers was like owning their own nuclear submarine, that guy and the company he built deserves my respect. Well, that respect phase started to run down a decade ago, although I didn't know it at the time. It took until today to let go of the fork I stuck in them sometime earlier this decade.

PS I still have numerous good things to say about the XBox division (XBox Live, Live Arcade, Game Studio Express, Halo), but they're barely keeping from being buried under the rubble.
