<div class="IPBDescription">hmm</div> Which is worse, a program coded by Microsoft or a product published by Electronic Arts?
imho the worst POSSIBLE (although slightly OT) would be:
MS coded product released by EA only avaliable via download from AOL

That is all.
Lets jump on the M$ sucks bandwaggon though.
Also Microsoft patches come out about 50 million times faster than EA patches, and at least MS doesn't port Mac OS's and pass them off as PC : P
EA doesn't so much pressure as take what the dev team has so far and push it out the door. Then have the devs start working on a patch to fix the game in a month or two after the sales get done, if the game doesn't sell EA completlely drops the project and moves on to it's next massively produced game. You bought an EA game that didn't sell well? Don't expect any support.
EA plays on peoples addictions to further their profit, but thats fair game in a capitalist society.
Microsoft, if you ever go to their help site, hooo-boy do they have an option for every little bug to get fixed.
And yes, they do have security issues, but so does everything. it's just that Windows security holes get much more screen time because it is the biggest OS.
ea does not. a few examples:
cnc generals - need i say more?
mohaa - sdk released TWO YEARS after the initial release
any sport game - need i say more?
Why?
No, it's not because they make buggy products, it's because they make products that cost loads and you can't run a computer without!
Windows XP costs £200. We had to get it so that we could have a shared internet connection. Then we realised you can only install windows XP on ONE computer that you own.
So if I want to install XP on MY computer, I need to shell out £200.
I think i'll stick to 98 thank you very much.
*Edit* As for the <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->MS coded product released by EA only avaliable via download from AOL<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->, there is something worse.
MS coded expansion-pack for The Sims released by EA only available via download on AOL via Fileplanet. *edit*
dr.d is just about the only sane person in this forum. Everyone else wants to hop on the "Lets hate Microsoft" or the "Lets hate Electronic Arts" bandwagon. If not for them we wouldn't have games like Dungeon Siege, The Medal of Honor Series, Age of Empires, Halo, Rise of Nations, etc...

So, i guess it's EA for me.
EA want maximum prfoits less service.
MS want good profits maximum service, just look at X-box selling at a loss.
As for EA, i doint really have any problems with them seeing as what they have done or will do has effect me. Other then that fact i dont agree wtih their sports game, i personal luv their sports game. FIFA is i think by far the best soccer game out their.
Some of the games they have published arent so bad though.

I love the way you generalize whole age groups. Really, it's rather noble.

Someone should let them know about it then? You don't have to use IE, you know.

I detect a hint of sarcasm.
I myself am a teenager, and 9/10 of my mates play The Sims.
9/10 of them like it.
9/10 of them love it.
I have not met a single person older than 17 who plays The Sims.

Oh good, you noticed. I was afraid you **** teenagers would just let it slide.
Don't give me that "oh, the majority uses it, but I'm too much of a free thinker" ****, either. You're not special, you aren't a free thinker.
