Thank you Microsoft for the Xbox Brand :)

To suggest any one with any clout from MS hangs in here is like suggesting the Emperor is a regular in the bar at Mos Eisely....

Yea it's highly likely that MS execs forsake all the huge amounts of corporate data streams available to them and instead base long term corporate strategies on the ramblings and musing of all things Xbox from a handful of regulars and a smattering of randoms
that post here. Let's hope the Sony execs don't cotton on or the brand is finished.....

Hello everyone

..........

Whoever designed / programmed the Xbox 360 ability to play your own music any time that you wanted to is super mega awesome in my book

..........

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

Off topic: but my gut instincts tell me that, Allbeit Unofficially, they (MS) read these forums every day. Inculding some on MS's BOD from time to time.

It's a wise policy to claim otherwise, but if you, the consumer, had the means by which to track their every move online. You would be amazed at how many times they descretely probe these very forums for both negative as well as positive info/feedback.

I say Microsoft does come on here. They do have moderators on here (I guess they're authorized by Microsoft to moderate and have some admin privileges). And they have engineers who make changes to this site from time to time. And they have Official Support
Staff on here too. And they do own this site so I doubt they've "abandoned" their own property.

I think it's a great idea too Lei. They're already known worldwide for making operating systems (Windows) which run the majority of PC's in the world. They acquired Skype and Minecraft which are also very popular. And Xbox too. I'm excited they've shown
a keen interest in Minecraft too. I also like Halo, Zoo Tycoon, Kinect, Kinect Sports Rivals, Screamride, Forza 6, voice messaging, and how they're approachable through Xbox Support (they generally send a feedback form via email after contacting them) and
through the official feedback site. It may not be always perfect, but nothing is always perfect. I've only been with Xbox since late 2010. I like it so much that it can be addicting, even staying up past my bed time or rushing in the mornings. And then when
I'm out, there's no escaping it. Xbox 360 smartglass and Xbox 1 smartglass. And this site too. And you can listen to voice messages on-this-site too. As for the Windows 10 Xbox app, It's kwl. I find your Friends List in the Xbox app updates in real time without
having to Refresh. I like that super fast Windows 10 UI on Xbox 1, I like how I can change the dash background, I like how the console has dolby support instead of just Stereo Uncompressed sound that it had at Launch which sounded weird. Also they're a company
you can trust with handling your personal info secure. 2 years ago, Facebook's sign-up page wasn't even encrypted. When you sign in or visit certain pages on this site, the address bar is highlighted green with a padlock. This site looks clean too. And I like
how I can connect with people and friends around the world. And I like how genuine Xbox 360/Xbox 1 consoles aren't as susceptible to viruses as PC's are (reports of viruses on Xbox have pretty much been nil compared to PC's), and how there are no system requirements
for games which PC versions have, cuz PC's are made in sooooo many crazy and different configurations. Xbox Live does go down, sometimes quite a bit. But the pro's out way the cons.

My first console was a second hand PS2, and only had it for 2 weeks then no longer wanted. My 2nd was Xbox 360 slim console which I've had since late 2010, and my 3rd is Xbox 1 Day 1 console with Kinect which I went to the midnight launch for. Also thanks
for making Xbox a personal and fun and likeable experience.

Late 2010, I was deciding to get PS or Xbox. PS may have the superior tech, but Microsoft has the software expertise and a really good online service which is why many have Xbox.

I viewed some YouTube videos of Microsoft's CEO. "Creating these magical experiences" and "potential" "opportunity" "impact" "play more" "to get more out of every moment of their life is what we want to get focused on" "the do more company" And I think it's
reflected in Xbox and Windows 10, and why they acquired Skype and Minecraft. They create software on PCs (Windows OS and Office software like Word etc) which helps us be productive in a digital/software driven world, and Xbox/Skype/Minecraft etc for us to
enjoy during our free time. I watched a video Head of Xbox, at the 2015 geekwire summit and a video of when the Head of Xbox acquired Xbox and when they announced Phil as Head of Xbox. I think they want to provide a good free time experience for users as well.
I think he's kinda kwl too.
