Nintendo's target market has always been kids to 18 tops... Hasn't been or aimed at being #1 since the early 90s... glad to see you can keep up with the kiddie console.


MSNBC Profitable, and dead last in the ratings.. and as for their web site.. KEY word in your statment... WAS... and only was because every local NBC affilliate had their local news posted there, now that that is no longer the case... they are in the toilet too.

XBOX.. just made its first quarter profit? Wow.. its running on all cylinders now...

.NET Portal... another great winner (snicker) from MS.

Sorry, MS is not this unstoppable juggernaut that always wins... It doesn't. SQLServer nowhere near #1 DB.. Oracle isn't running scared... Passport is being dumped and frankly never got off the ground.... MS Money, never has or will outsell Quicken.. MSNBC has the same Viewership as a rerun of an XFL game....

This everything MS touches is Golden is nonsense. They have had more than a few stinkers and have been beaten in the marketplace, particularly in the internet arena many a time...


Keep shilling though... dance for those dollars.. earn that paycheck this week.

Of course, you cannot forget the most memorable MS flop in history...BOB! I still shudder when I think about using that abomination.

"Nintendo's target market has always been kids to 18 tops... Hasn't been or aimed at being #1 since the early 90s... glad to see you can keep up with the kiddie console."

Micdosoft's XBOX has still clobbered Nintendo Gamecube, kids market or not.

"MSNBC Profitable, and dead last in the ratings.. and as for their web site.. KEY word in your statment... WAS... and only was because every local NBC affilliate had their local news posted there, now that that is no longer the case"

MSNBC was profitable within less than 2 years after starting, dead last in ratings or not.
Listen CBS is last in network news ratings, but they still make good profits even in spite of Dan Rather.

As for MSNBC web site, it still IS one of the top 3 news sites on the planet,fluctuating with CNN and Fox depending on what month we are talking about..

Yep.
And it beat Nintendo Gamecube last year too, after just 3 years on the market. *chuckle


" It doesn't. SQLServer nowhere near #1 DB"

SQL Server is # 1 on Windows Server.the only platform it runs on,having long overtaken Oracle, and growing at a staggering 25%,even tho its been out since 2000,and a new one is coming this year. Every single year for the past 5 years at least, SQL Server has INCREASED its market share.
That is simply awesome.

Stop talking nonsense dude.
You are one of the biggest shills I have ever seen here, and that is saying a lot.
How much is Red Hat paying you to spew out nonsense and attack people?
Or is it Google?

Why don't you argue your pint and stop making hysterical whines about "shills"for a change,especially since you are the Ayatollah of Shills?

Take it easy on ol' KwasiOwusu, he is having a great time with his head way up between Gates' cheeks.

He is talking and pushing and shilling as much as any used car salesman selling a POS, but in this case MS is just trying to play catch-up using a 90% perfect mirror of what Google already provides.

So who is going to switch when they already have Google?

Google took over the leadership position because it was orders of magnitude FAR AHEAD of every other search option, especially the at-the-time standing leader Yahoo. MS is nothing new, just a refonted, outright theft of Google's creation in nearly every way.

The longer time delay of every MSN search is due to the additional repackaging and refonting time that MSN needs after it goes out to fetch Google's results first.
