Here's your sixth "Sweet 16" match-up: #43 American Airlines VS #6 Microsoft Here's what some of you had to say about these two companies: American Airlines: "AA just released a statement saying they will be charging $15 per checked bag and cutting flights." "You might as well ask "which business model is more doomed — renting movies from a store, or the hub & spoke airline system?"" Microsoft: "MS trying to force people into using Vista is really the last straw. If they succeed on pushing XP out of use I will go back to using Mac. " "Broken XBoxes; prolonging/supporting the HD disc war so they could get more time to let their digital download service mature; releasing Vista prematurely; multiple/confusing and overpriced Vista SKUs; removing XP from the market because people weren't buying Vista; Zune not supporting Microsoft's own Plays for Sure standard; DRM and Activation schemes that treat paying customers like criminals. I could go on, but I think that's enough to make my case." This is a post in our Worst Company In America 2008 series. The companies nominated for this honor were chosen by you, the readers. Keep track of all the goings on at consumerist.com/tag/worst-company-in-america.
