As you may have noticed, Project Matt is undergoing a complete redesign. Taking this site to a new level of awesome is no easy task, and I expect there to be a few glitches along the way. However, I feel it's worth it to better show you my side of the web.
So, let me know what you think and rest assured that more interesting sites and videos are on the way!
Since switching to an iMac back in 2000, I've grown more and more critical of Microsoft. Not only did I have a much better computing experience on the Mac OS, I realized why I dislike so many Microsoft products. They copy instead of innovate.
Microsoft's new slogan should be, "We do that too". You liked the playstation 2? Try an xbox. You like the ipod? Try a Zune. You like Google? Try Windows Live. You like Mac OSX? Try Windows Vista.
When was the last time Microsoft had an original idea?
Take a look at this comparison of Windows Vista and Mac OSX and see for yourself:
If that doesn't make you think twice about Microsoft, let's meet Microsoft's longest-serving employee, Steve Ballmer, after he became Microsoft's CEO in 2000:
I laughed out loud as Steve desperately screamed "Give it up for me!" on stage while running around like a crazed maniac. This is the same guy that required vocal cord surgery after screaming "Windows, windows, windows" during a 1991 meeting in Japan.
Steve Ballmer is excited in the video, because Microsoft made him a billionaire even though he was neither a founder nor a relative of a founder. In 2003 Steve Ballmer got rid of the same employee stock program that made him Forbes Magazine's 24th richest person in the world. No wonder he screamed, "Give it up for me". Perhaps he should've replaced “it” with “your stock purchase plan”.
Since this post is turning into a full out bash of Microsoft, I thought I would also share this video:
So far the only benefit of owning a PC, that I've heard, are the games. Personally, I’d rather play games with an innovator (I’m looking at you Nintendo).
