Why do some people really, truly hate Microsoft? Because they do what they do well?
I honestly think that Windows lately is VERY stable and is very easy to install and use.
So what's the problem? Just because MS has set a standard and has almost everyone's support (hardware vendors, software developers) we should hate them? I'm not saying I love MS, but there's no need to hate them.

I don't hate Microsoft because they made windows. Windows is actually very good, but I hate them because of their marketing strategies. Promoting their products by threats and shit like that.

Remember the thing with Compaq for instance. Not that I like them either, but Microsoft ordered Compaq not to install netscape on the computers they sold. And if they didn't obey they wouldn't be allowed to install windows on them. It's that sort of things Microsoft has done that pisses me off. And there's alot of other stories like that.

Windows is still the most developed OS around. That actual humans knows how to operate. If I told my girlfriend to boot into linux she'd go crazy and start kicking the computer...But she can actually handle windows!

I agree 100\%, MS has become a symbol and all the people who are like "down with the man" and now saying down with microsoft...sure theyve done some bad things, but very few corporations as large as that haven't, The only company i can think of with a spotless reputation is Sony, they make good products that last and work well without overcosting you. Just about every other company has problems, just like just about every human being has problems. People needa shut up about it.

Sony's rep has a spot! I was on a different site reading this review about some stupid band, and I think on one of the pics of the cover said something about being copyrighted by Sony. I can't really tell because it's tiny. I think this is the link, let me see if I can figure out how to do this again.

Just because they produced a bad CD doesnt mean they have a spot, record contracts are about taking chances on groups who might not last, so you cant judge the recording company if the group sucks...now if the cd had broken apart or something, that would be an entirely different matter

don't ruin my roll Sithee... I see your point. I was just kidding around mostly. But concerning Microsoft, I am sure it's hard to be a successful company when you have so many people after you, government and other companies and such.

Yup! It's hard to get to be such a big company without stepping on peoples toes. I still don't like Microsoft for the stuff they did. But I like windows...

Windows has NEVER been fucking stable for me. 3.1, 95, and right now 98 Second Edition have all screwed me over in some way or another. I would be running another platform but for fear of less game compatibility.

That's not likely to be the fault of the Windows operating system, the majority of problems people who have Windows machines experience are due to poorly written device drivers and software, not the Windows operating system. If you are careful about what software you install, and maintain your system well, and use hardware with good quality drivers, you aren't likely to have many problems. I keep my machine well maintained, and in the past month, I have had only one or two Illegal operations, one BSOD, and no system freezes. The BSOD was because I installed some new hardware and hadn't properly removed the old hardware drivers due to a poorly done uninstall program. While I don't condone some of Microsoft's tactics, it still is rather stupid to rant against them; they are only trying to make a profit like any other business, and it has nothing to do with being good or evil, just getting a larger profit margin.
