I like Microsoft.
Sure, their latest OS's have been mostly crap, but 2000 is my buddy. I grew up with a C64, and many other old machines, but I wouldn't ever trade in any of the games available now, for those older ones, no matter how good they were.
In my opinion, those weren't really the good old days at all, I remember the keyboard on the C64 drove me into a homicidal rage, with it's non-responsive buttons, and DOS was the most horrid thing in existence.
The true "good old days" are those of 1994-1999 where Windows emerged, and hit after hit was released. To add to it, Windows was actually incredibly easy to use back then. But now, we sometimes have to trade in that simplicity in order to play the latest and greatest games.
It's a fair trade in my opinion, but having to upgrade all the time is a drag, but to make things seem fair, I can say that you had to upgrade MUCH more in the older days (Processers bumped up a bit everday it seems).
