Here's an honesty challenge for you: Use the same vitriol to describe the situation with Microsoft and the XBox.

Typical distraction attempt from you to change the subject, but I've never supported Microsoft entering the console hardware business and don't now. A computer can not only play games but do a lot more, and that's where Microsoft should be concentrating, on their software for computers. Using a chip that was incompatible with Windows on their console was ignorant as well. So, you failed, again.

I didn't quite catch the vitriol and glee over a company losing billions of dollars in that post, like you did against Sony. Come on, let's see you be honest for once. All I saw there was simple disagreement.

Using a chip that was incompatible with Windows on their console was ignorant as well.

They lost their first billions with a Pentium III chip in the original XBox. The 360 and other 360-related products are actually selling extremely well, and would have turned the game division to a net profit by now if not for Microsoft rushing it to market.
