Eventually they just deleted my ticket, lol, they were like - we don't want to help you because you've bought almost all our...

    Microsoft Launches Play Service: Xbox Games on Your Windows Phone or PC

    That will be awesome I reckon, be nice to be able to eventually play anything on any platform. Never understood why devs & publishers divided the gaming community in the first place.

    Ballmer Could Be Out if Windows 8 Tanks, Analysts Say

    Apple isn't the biggest tech company in the world because it's the best, it's because Microsoft fell asleep and is trying to play catch up. I'm still puzzled as to how a company of their magnitude keep making really bad decisions. Whoever is employed - good luck.

    Microsoft Security Essentials Fails AV-Test Certification

    BotiaI like it because it is better than others at detecting threats. It doesn't do anything for web or mail, which I prefer. I use other methods for those. It runs as a service in the background and in general stays out of the way and uses very little resources. Keep up the good work...

    Half-Life 3 Rumored to Have RPG, Open World Elements

    Half life 2 was a great story driven game (despite the ending) I hope if this is true it doesn't make it too distracting. Half Life was great because you went area to area without having to dig in an inventory, you just played and as a result you felt like you were there.
