Oh, how things change. Time was, that comment wouldn't need to be written. Let me note that Halo was made by Bungie, a Mac company. It was going to come out for Macs, but it went Xbox after Bungie was bought. Everyone with monopoly money can buy good products late in their development. My problem with MS is the monopolist strategy. A monopolist need to keep the APIs hard to reimplement on another OS, to lock applications (and their users) to its platform. Complexity is needed for that -- and also to keep the OS API base a moving target with bug compatibility etc. You see this horror of complexity throughout the whole ecosystem, not only for the suffering heroes working with compatibility with the Office file formats or the virtual file systems. This extra complexity lowered my personal life quality, when the world was a dinosa... cough, Microsoft world. That makes it personal -- my personal pain.
