Why is there no Microsoft category on Digg

I don't want to get in to the whole Apple vs Microsoft vs Linux thing but it would be nice to have a Microsoft category on digg don't you all agree

Im surprised there isn't a Nintendo Wii section on digg due to all the constant little articles on there.

well the reason why i think there isnt an "microsoft" section up is because its not just microsoft... theres more then just lunix unix and microsoft for the pc so the correct topic should be PC which would then go under more subtopics... whereas you have the apple filter which is simple because apple pc's dont really have too much to them...

Yeah, I don't know if it is a case of people playing favorites, because Apple needs its own area more so than Microsoft. If you want to talk about windows they have a Windows section, and anything that isn't software released by Microsoft can be talked about in the hardware section. You need an Apple computer to run OSX, therefor why not have one section for the both of them?

Yea I didn't even notice that untill now, if you have one company name you should have all of there own sections, or just not have detailed sections.

Eh, not a Microsoft fan, but here's another person who agrees with this. Especially since MS is much larger.

O really? Despite the fact that most of the apple stories are rumors/speculation. Lets look at some of the recent front page apple stories:


Quinn - A Beatuiful, 100% FREE Tetris Game For Mac OS X
Small insect inside my screen!
iTunes to get lyrics for ALL your songs automatically. It's coming.
Secret volume control in Quicktime
Apple Designer (iMac & iPod) lives Modestly but loves his Aston Martin
Pink Noise generator for OSX


I could go on, but i'll end it there.
