Microsoft usually pays attention to easy fixes, security holes in supported products, and stuff brought up by other big companies. Microsoft makes A LOT of money from corporate sales, volume licensing, education, and OEM licensing of Windows, Visual Studio, and Office. If they lose them to other companies, then they just lost a good chunk of their profit.
PC gaming is not a big market for them. It is why they do not support it as much.
Of course, MS isn't the only one not listening to a lot of their customers. Apple locks people in with macs and ipods. And they can cut off support at any time they feel like (remember g5 powermacs? You can't get 10.6 for them).
lol Apple customer service... what a joke...
"You're holding your iPhone wrong, it's your fault not ours"
Apple is more of a problem than Microsoft when it comes to money. People don't tell Apple what they want next, Apple tells you what you want next. Kind of reminds me of those Soviet Union jokes. But yeah, if you somehow get on Apple's badside, then they'll send their secret police force to kick down your door and arrest you. And no, that's not an exageration, that actually happened to the guy who found the iPhone 4G before it came out. If you even break a small part of Apple's EULA, they're done with you. But Microsoft for the most part isn't too concerned with people following their EULA.
