Microsuck

Microsuck

I was trying to view a video preview for a video game title I'm interested in called Jade Empire. It's a title that's being published by Microsoft Game Studios. The preview was on an Xbox website, I was logged in with my .NET Passport, I was using Internet Explorer to view it which was employing a Windows Media Player plugin to load it. This was all on a PC that was running XP and I was navigating the site using an IntelliMouse. Guess what? The video wouldn't load.

Word of advice to megalomaniac corporations: if you're going to take over the world, make sure your products play well together.
