    Kind of surreal seeing how much of their original ideas from the start are here now and stronger than ever in the present day. I guess we will see what happened that Don Mattrick changed the direction the way he did but....it seems clear as day now that Phil really did do his part(as did others) to get the current ship to align with the original. Can't wait to watch the rest of these.

    Steve Ballmer never had the vision that Microsoft needed, he's a great showman by the way, but that's it. Until there comes his contribution to the company.

    Genuinely I feel so lucky to have been growing up when XBOX360 hit the market for the first time. The first time I ever played online with other people it absolutely blew my mind. The first game I ever played online was Gears of War and that was only campaign.
    I remember talking to someone from the USA for the first time and he was "explaining" how xbox live worked to me. Granted I was 10-11 at the time so I was eating the experience up like chocolate cake

Here I am now in my 30's watching Microsoft blast off into the next generation still happily gaming. Thanks for all of the memories!
