Uh, since when?

OSX has slowly been gaining share while Windows has been slowly dropping for a while now. Nothing major though.
[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;36845817]since metro[/QUOTE]
Yeah, microsoft has just been just bleeding money since windows 8 was released :downs:
They're still drawing in revenue, it's just that their ad venture kinda failed miserably. Which, considering it's their attempt (along with Bing) to rival Google, you had to see coming.
Microsoft can't keep up with all of the new technology these days?

Did you just read the title? Microsoft is posting a loss because they tried to go into a market being dominated by google and facebook - two markets with enormous user loyalty and some rabid fans that would probably die for them.
that's quite an achievement actually
congrats

No they arent. Linux is clearly paving the way.

It was kind of obvious that he was.
Thats the second sarcastic phrase I've made today and only two of them have been taken really fucking seriously. I give up with this new fangled thing called "sarcasm".

If you're going to say something sarcastically that at least a few members of the forum would say totally seriously, you have to at least give some kind of indicator like a :v: emote

I'm waiting for some moron to come say how you can't tell sarcasm on the internet.
But you can in books?

Wait one fucking second here... are you trying to honestly say that professional writers are generally better at conveying sarcasm in text than occasional random forum posts? Your post itself better be sarcasm because that's just ridiculous

It doesn't take much to convey sarcasm at all, only dumb people don't understand it.

No, trust me, conveying sarcasm is hard at times because sarcasm can be VERY close or identical to a serious statement.

When making sarcastic posts. Just imagine that everyone is brain dead.
Make it more obvious than just "it should be obvious that I'm joking". because people really don't think it's that obvious. Trust me, I've gotten quite frustrated when people think I'm dead serious and just backpedaling when I say that it was meant to be sarcastic.
