i would like a zune...
i would like that black 80GB zune
I'm in the market for a zune....I love my XP cause it has everything that i need and i can customize it to look like a mac haha
Love the xbox 360, especially it's design.
I love my 30gb zune.
Let the Zuneman cometh!
The HALO trilogy is Microsoft's greatest achievement. Cortana has a command line interface aswell you know!
Favorite MicroSoft product: Office 2008 for Mac. Apple product: iMac Intel
All Microsoft O/S 's , thanks to the bugs and issues I have a great job. Thank god Unix never took off for the desktops like windows did
I love my Zune80. I'd like another one so my wife can stop using mine.
With all the hatred of the Zune on this blog from many commenters, I find it funny and revealing that so many people are entering this giveaway. I guess the zune isn't half bad as a lot of Apple fanboys would have you believe.
Haha, that vid with Bill on his last day was awesome.
He called Obama, Hillary, Al Gore, etc...
Its a toss up between the Zune 30 or 360....
i had a 4gb zune before it met its demise in the washer along with my pants. the zune market place with the zune pass is pure awesome. send me another zune and you can have my ipod shuffle.
Xbox 360 - great for watching movies from my mac with connect360
Vista- that's right. I must be the 1 token guy on this hemisphere, but Vista rocks.
I love my poo brown 30 gb zune!
1st Gen Zune ftw!
Can't live without my Office 2008 for Mac
I love Apple's OSX and want a Zune really bad
to zune or not too soon.
the izune would have to be my fav.
gonna have to go with an xbox, even though i don't own one =/
I Love my MacBook Pro with XP PRO on it! :)
I was a big fan of DOS 6.6
xbox 360 even though i had two that red lighted
My favorite Microsoft product is Surface.
I gotta agree, the Xbox 360 is my favorite Microsoft product. =]
Totally the Xbox series!
the xbox 360 is definately one of microsoft's best products, minus the whole red ring of death issue (why did they glue one freaking part in???). If only Microsoft would wise up and at least have oversight of what hardware their software is sold on, that is their great downfall
@ Fanman Microsoft did not make Halo, bungie did, it was originaly made for Apple, til microsoft bought bungie (so yes they owned the company, but they didnt make it).
Surprisingly: Vista.
(not for the contest (minor)) i agree with fanman, halo pwns. where would we be without it?(no, not playing COD)\
also, i so h8 ur lawyers (till im 18 muahahahaha)
If there was a Zune phone..... I'd buy it
This is the best MP3 player out there easily
WANT
My favorite microsoft product is Zune and windows vista
Apple iphone browser ftw.
david
Definitely Windows XP.
I will have to give it to apple for the ipods. I like those better, although I'm not a huge fan of itunes.
Zune!
ONENOTE
i like ipods, but a good friend of mine loves his zune, so i wouldnt mind entering to win one!
Pick Me!
Gotta love the original Xbox. Mods are your friend!
Microsoft OS and productivity suites, also Visual Studio, which I use for school.
I LOVE My iMac! and my Windows Built PC
Windows!
Love me a Microsoft Habu mouse
all windows os
I'm a sucker for good old Windows 3.1 because that is what was running on the earliest computers that I started to use when I was growing up. Very good memories with that O/S.
I LOVE my Zune 30, but I could use an upgrade - I would dig a Zune 80, would mean I could carry my entire music collection with some room for Zune Pass binging left over!
I love My Vista Powerd PC. I love the the desgine and the layout of it all they really did a good job, I will never have XP again for a home PC. Thank you Bill and all the developers I love it. Oh and i love my T-Mobile Dash Running Windows Mobile 6, good phone for what I need.
this looks awesome!
I'd have to say Windows is my fave. I've been using it my entire life.
The best Microsoft powered product is by far the Xbox 360, and the best part about that is Xbox live.
Best MS designed device... I'd have to go with the Windows Mobile system. Without this system we'd still be stuck with crappy mobile interfaces designed by cellphone companies and if it weren't so successful we'd never have seen the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Jury is still out on the Zune, haven't gotten my hands on the latest rendition.
I loved Windows ME.
Favorite MS product: Windows XP...like to give a Zune a try
I want a zune!!!
I reaaally need an mp3 player.
xbox 360
i had the original zune but it got stolen. this would be an awesome replacement
I'm going to have to go with my 360. Hands down.
My favorite microsoft product is the Zune, I own a 8gb Zune. An 80gb would rock.
Xbox 360 is one of the best Microsoft has created. In the Xbox 360, Microsoft has created a beast that just keeps getting better and better. Sure, they are problems with some of the technology, but then again, show me a piece of technology that always runs perfectly and I’ll eat my Xbox!
Whether it is titles, graphics or its brilliant ability to link to other players, LIVE, around the world in real-time, the Xbox 360 wins hands down!
10 reasons why to get one and why it is an awesome system.
1. The Xbox360 come with awesome wireless connections which I just love.
Letting you remain in control from over 30 feet away, I find this feature perfect for those long gaming sessions when you get tired of staying in the same position. It definitely helps my gaming!
2. The games list is just awesome – and keeps getting better. Not only are some of the best games ever written available on the 360, but many amazing titles are written exclusively for the Xbox 360.
3. The Xbox Live feature is truly revolutionary – you get to play multiplayer games against opponents from all over the world. You can create gamer tags for id, make avatars, create a friends list, set up a rating system, keep track of your achievements and so much more. This alone makes the Xbox 360 the best.
4. If you are thinking of upgrading from the Xbox and are worried about the games that you have already bought, worry not. Over 200 Xbox games are compatible with the Xbox 360!
5. The Xbox Live feature also lets you tap into an awesome arcades marketplace. Here you can try free games, ultra cheap games and more. The possibilities are endless.
6. Xbox 360 graphics just rock! The 360 runs three (three!) 3.2 GH processors that run with a 500MhzATI graphics processor. You want power? Need I say more?
7. Remember, the Xbox 360 is more than just gaming. It is also an all-round entertainment system so you can watch movies, download music and play your own CDs as well.
8. The Xbox 360 plugs you right into the heart of the game development world.
You get the opportunity to download demos, and bonus packs from game developers. This is a great feature that lets you tap into the latest cutting- edge gaming developments.
9. The Xbox 360 keeps track of your gaming history – lets you easily recall scores, favorite games, images and so on.
10. The Headset feature lets you chat in real time to friends and fellow gamers around the world. & nbsp; Imagine chatting to teammates and opponents while playing? How cool is that?
11. Oh yeah – I’ll throw in one more reason as well – the Xbox 360 just looks cool. Not only that, you can easily mod it with different face plates as well.
& If you want your gaming gear to look good then you have no choice.
If those 10 (sorry, 11!) reasons don’t persuade you then you must be lacking some serious gaming passion. If you want to take your gaming to the next level then the Xbox 360 is the only game in town. Enjoy!
Xbox line, by far.
I love my Zune 30
I love Office 2007--the upgrades to the UI as well as usability and nifty new tools has me learning things I've never known before!
80gb - now we're talking!
I gotta go with Visual Studio/dotNet Framework. This is gunna be big in the coming years and finally get rid of the terrible java platform...
Gotta say I do enjoy the Xbox 360, probably the product I use the most next to Windows.
windows 98 was a beautiful OS.
my favorite is probably the xbox 360, it's amazingly fun (when it's working)
Without a doubt, Solitaire. Do they have contests for that? Of course, it'd have to be between the hours of 8am and 5pm for everyone to be at their usual best.

Xbox 360, one of my favorite toys

Xbox 360, 'tis pure awesomeness.
I love my 16GB Ipod Touch. I hope they improve the product with built in speaker, more memory at a cheaper price. Iphone is just a no go since I don't want to commit with 2yr plan with data for ATT. thanks//Jo
If I could bootleg a Zune... I would.
I think the apple ipod is okay, I like the zune (8GB). An 80GB would be really nice!
