Ok 1st off M$ hater, with all their loot M$ doesnt have much control over BB line speeds.
First of all I don't hate Microsoft. The enemy is ignorance, like those fools who think MS is going to to increase BB because XBox uses more bandwidth. FYI, MIcrosoft co-founder Paul Allen controls Charter, so don't tell me MS has much control over line speeds.
What you fail to comprehend it that Microsoft hogs everything, processor power, memory, bandwidth, hard drive space, $$$money etc. Microsoft programs are so big because they won't take the time to make them slender and efficient. Bigger isn't better in software, any more than it is in a PhD dissertation.
I don't care what you hear Mr. Gates talk about, because he is a liar, and those who believe his promises without verification are foolish.
