Windows Media Center versus Apple TV

Posted by: Nuno Baptista on 04 October 2008

What are the WMC advantages?Or disadvantages?I watch yesterday on TV an interview with Steve Balmer Microsoft CEO and he argues that iPhone is a bit expensive for most of people,that Microsoft focus is to lower the prices in order to most people can afford Microsoft products

To almost repeat what Mandy R-D said and referring to Balmer's marketing rhetoric

"Well he would say that wouldn't he"

Most Microsoft products are rubbish and the rest are not as good as that - I wouldn't believe anything Steve Balmer says. He's just a marketing man - a very clever one, but that's all he is. Don't get fooled again - buy something that will work instead.

Windows 6 will be dreadful I'm sure - you see Microsoft doesn't have a clue when it comes to software development - just look how bad Word is - there were infinitely better products available more than 20 years ago - e.g. Word Perfect 4.1. Simply install Open Office on any Mac, Linux or even Windoze system if you must and you can throw Microsoft Office in the bin. Open Office is free, of course. Of course Windows 6 will great news for all writers of spyware, viruses and other malicious programs.

As Steve Jobs once says the real mystery is how Microsoft made so much money out of selling third rate products.

I can never understand why anybody knowingly buys products from Microsoft.

Still, Nuno, the choice is yours. I'm remaining impartial on this one.

Yes Jim

Most definitely - the above post is the nicest thing I can think of to say about Microsoft Smile

I have bitter experience of trying to deal with them and wouldn't want others to suffer the same way.
