PowerlinX Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I was "informed" that Microsoft got the name "Xbox" from "Direct-X Box" Really, they really stick to their names.

Chex Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Don't believe everything on Wikipedia because although a great percentage of it is correct, you're bound to get small amounts of info that are false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Shore Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Lets see, what has microsoft done that was original, besides stealing things?Zune and Bing come to mind. Also, the Windows 7 taskbar.On a side note, I hate how they don't let you directly access hotmail without going to bing first, and then its like "start using bing to get this to stop". They're really desperate to replace google. I thought they would have learned from the Zune that there's a point where someone just owns the market.

It is said that Google is putting Garmin and Tomtom down. It even took over Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
