I hate Microsoft

I bought the boys a new racing game for the Xbox the other day and when I stuck it in the machine tonight, it wouldn't play because the game was for the original, not the new Xbox 360 we have. Why would you build a machine that can't play versions of software build for the previous version of the machine. That just makes no sense. This is why Microsoft is getting it's behind handed to them in the entertainment field by Apple, Nintendo and everyone else. They just suck at the new frontier of technology, the living room.
