I’ve already ranted about Microsoft’s tactical marketing approach to it’s flavors of XBOX, which is also employed to it’s other software suites such as:

Microsoft Windows/Office | Home | Student | Professional | Small Business | Proffesional Plus | Small Business | Enterprise | Ultimate | GimpDoucheBag  ( Actual versions taken from the website ) 

So many different flavors, so much fuckin bullshit. Absurd costs and little to no value. What kind of cumquat dishes out an extra $200 dollars for XP professional just to get remote desktop capabilities? Sigh. This virus like paradigm is used throughout other microsoft products but none come to mind. Zune? Not interesting enough to even explore. *pokes stick into pile of shit

Seriously, man, if you keep fucking people, they’re going to get preggo and you know what that means. Assloads of child support, nagging wives, piss puke and shit all over the place. A fuckin mess is my point. Probably best if you stay in the garage with the car running. Ok, terrible analogy. Anyway, with stocks plummeting, I’m sure there’s management being found in garages all over the place.

Back to the topic, I’m bad with brain farts. So I was at futureshop the other day and I overhear the sales dude instructing some lady getting a box for her son and she was as baffled as I was with the flavors of xbox. Difference being a few months ago, I had 1 question and they had one answer. “Does arcade have HDMI?” dude answered me “NO, Only the Elite has HDMI”. LIAR

Powered with this knowledge, when I overheard the lady’s same question, I heard the same answer. He glanced at me and I immediately gave this look of “What the fuck are you serious?” followed by this look of ” Rephrase that last sentence or I’ll smash your face open with a brick!”. Funny cause he changed his tune right away and I didn’t have to say a word. Felt awesome, I walked away and smiled and nodded at him and went to the checkout to purchase my brand new copy of Microsoft Office GimpDoucheBag.

On the drive home all I kept thinking was why is that so complicated, isn’t it on the box? Get home, checkout the box and notice it clearly states on the box that the XBOX arcade does NOT come with HDMI… Which is a lie because the one I purchased, as you can see on the photo clearly has HDMI.

When you look at the big picture with their marketing and shitty software/hardware/innovation, It’s almost like their trying to sink their ship on purpose… I have some advice for Microsoft to get better. Whatever you’re doing now, do the complete opposite. 

Good Luck. One more thing, that windows 7 thing, you may want to offer that free of charge to vista users who are still on XP waiting for it to function properly.
