Microsoft have made 4 billionaires and a estimated 12,000 millionaires from Microsoft employee’s.
Now I am going to tell you Microsoft’s best 3 products.
Microsoft’s 3rd best product is Microsoft TweakUI. This was a small download hidden within the depths of Microsoft’s website, and sometimes showed up on Windows install discs. It is basically a small user interface application that allows you to tweak various Windows settings without having to dig through the registry. Whenever I install a copy of Windows the first task is always to go through TweakUI and change the settings to how Windows should be. Some of the best tweaks are setting the Start Menu to load instantly on mouse hover (called Menu Speed), as opposed to waiting 0.5 seconds (or clicking) to browse. I also always made sure to disable “detect accidental double-clicks” which is what causes that annoying delay when you click text forms in IE (back when it was the only really compatible choice). Other little tweaks are there to allow you to make Windows look the way you want it to; disable the “Shortcut to:” text that is added when you make a shortcut, or set an automatic login if you need to. At one time, all the AutoPlay settings (when you insert media) were only found within TweakUI as well, so some of the settings have found their way into Window’s normal Control Panel.
The 2nd best product is Windows Media Player. The new graphics-based listing is absolutely perfect, and allows you to sort through even the largest music collections with ease. CD covers are ’stacked’ to represent a pile of CD’s sorted any way you wish; via artist, genre, or year of release. The wheel-based search makes it even better, as results are shown as you type in a search phrase.
Media Sharing is another nice feature, and allows videos, music, and pictures to be easily shared across a network to Pcs and even the Xbox 360 without the need to jump through hoops to allow access to the other devices.
The 1st best Microsoft product is the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 is the second video game console produced by Microsoft, and the successor to the Xbox. The Xbox 360 competes with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.
