RE: Invectives?

Posted by Jazz Inmate on August 24, 2007 at 15:36:14:
Yes, invectives, e.g., "Business knowledge is obviously not one of your strengths" and "Jazz, you're losing it" and then offering no "business knowledge" that counters what I posted.

The fact is that I have been supporting my argument with reasons that you have consistently ignored, instead replying with thinly veiled insults. Do you dispute that Sony is an A/V company and Microsoft is not? Do you dispute that MS is pursuing a strategy that will dictate how HD content is handled in our homes--not just with the limited HD DVD format but with software like Windows Media Player--despite having next to no experience in bringing A/V products to market?

It goes w/o saying that everyone who posts here is open to question, but you didn't question, you attacked. You're still doing it. The fact is that Paramount received $150 million in cash and incentives to drop blu-ray. This is all I have talked about in this thread. It is a fact. There is no "suspicion of skullduggery" about it. A studio was bought off and you have been defending that business practice ever since while calling Sony a "march larger rival" of Microsoft. Strange indeed.
