I don't think microsoft is as bad as everybody hypes them up to be. It's simple business, if making a whole long expensive game like FL2 is not going to make you profit, why make it? Just because a few people out there who LOVED FL1 to death would be happy, isn't enough to have them make money.
Apple is really beating down on them, so they should do what makes them the most money. You probably would too if you were in charge of a major corporation.
Plus, the gave me Vista (which is not as bad as everyone says, I RARELY have problems) and they gave me this cool wireless mouse. And a bunch of other gadgets I have.
