Luis Mazza Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I believe that if the question was "Do you envy Apple?" on the news front page and you were required to be sincere, than we would have equivalent results for the current 'Yes' and 'No', if you know what I mean.

Glassed Silver Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 No, I don't. I like a lot of the stuff they have put out there and even though I cannot stand Windows 8 and I'm worried about some of the decisions made recently I still think they generally speaking an awesome tech company. edit 1: Also, why you no include poll via native forum poll feature? Grrr... (sidenote: very maturely started discussion on that page) edit 2: Hmmm... you can't vote on that page... You've given us the results page and there's no way to "go back" (the link won't work, because our browsers haven't been on the previous page) edit 3: (lol) This should work: http://poll.pollcode.com/tnfclv Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I don't hate MS -- I look up to them in a hopeful way. I'd like them to stay ethical and honest. I am baffled by the programmers and software designers. I am baffled by the seemingly endless buggy RTM versions. I am baffled when they put out a backward product like Windows 8. Microsoft should ask the end users what they want and like. MS should make operating systems that are as customizable as possible -- not force changes that many people don't want. Different isn't always better. MFH, Luis Mazza and Luc2k 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syanide Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 This is exactly the reaction retarded articled like the poll on the front page produce. Congrats Neowin for nurturing fanboy mentality, keeping the quality as low as possible, and driving long time community members away. This place has truly turned awful.

jakem1 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'm not sure what is more pathetic. The poll on the front page or this retaliation poll. At least a couple of people around here need to grow up. Hum and Glassed Silver 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detection Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 wow to save all the whining why not just add Apple & MS to the original poll instead of childish retaliation threads ? Crisp 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Angel Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Why couldn't you just attach a poll to the thread? And no, I don't hate Microsoft but the direction they're taking concerns me at the moment. I don't like product bastardisation and I don't like the fact that they seem more interested in catering to app junkies than the traditional users of their products.

HawkMan Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If you hate Microsoft, maybe you should consider another tech site than NeoWIN. just an idea :) Also why use an off site poll and not the built in one of the forum. other than to make sure noone votes, except those who are the biggest trolls and will go to any length to show their displeasure.

Glassed Silver Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 But that wouldn't matter, if they delete his post, noone will ever see and know his poll exists anyway. When I came to this thread it was pretty new and already had over 10 votes, so I take it that poll originated from some other forum that probably leans towards Microsoft hate or immature punks, as the poll started off with more votes in favor of Microsoft hate. Meh... Reporting this thread now, it's just as immaturely worded as the front page news item and just a counterattack against it. Hence, not very helpful at all.
