Gizmodo Gives Microsoft a B- Grade

So.... It seems as though Gizmodo are in the Christmas spirit these days, by recently giving the biggest technological company, and the creators of your Zune product line, Microsoft, a B- grade for the past year. Gizmodo based this grade on Microsoft's products and software from the past year, stating that the biggest achievement from Microsoft was the Xbox 360 (A-), which I think we can all agree was the best thing they've ever made (besides the Zune, of course). And speaking of Zune, it received a solid B+, citing the wifi features and sharing policy, among other things, that make the new Zunes better than the old ones. So head on over to Gizmodo now and read on what Gizmodo thinks about Microsoft from this past 2007 year.

I'm sure they deserved that grade, but they also gave Apple an A, which I don't believe they deserved. They cite out all of the problems with Microsoft and make a big deal about it, but when Apple makes a mistake, they're just like "Oh, they're just Apple, so it doesn't matter" (They didn't actually say that, it just seems like something they would say)

Yea, I just read that. And yea I agree, thats what ticks me off about Apple. They charge sooo god damn much for their products that dont do much better than another product that is about 100-200bucks cheaper, and just because its Apple, with the Apple logo on it, your basically paying for it, and then yea, if a company makes a mistke, its the end of the world, but Apple makes a mistake, then it means nothing, and the people who buy Apple products are too dull to realize what all their money is going into. (esp on iMacs and Macbooks, I can get a Toshiba Laptop with HD DVD and 2GB Memory and 250GB hard drive and 17inch screen for $999.99, but a crappy-ass mackbook with 1GB memory, 80GB hard drive, and nothing else besdies bluetooth and isight, and on a 13.3inch screen for $1299.99)

BTW- That picture i put up is pretty funny, i must say. LOL
