I've gained my right to bash Microsoft. After a decade of using their products I know what Microsoft does, and how they do it. I also know what the alternatives are, and I use them as much as I can. Still, because software developers fail to see the alternative solutions (OS wise mostly) I am too dependent on using Microsoft products.
For example, I know dozens of people who would switch to Linux instantly, if they would have a Linux-version of Steam and Steam games.
Anywho, Microsoft lately has had to buy and cheat their way to make sure the alternatives are NOT supported. They have too much control over hardware and software. The latest horrifying news come from Holland and their vote for making
Open XML an ISO standard.
Microsoft = Greed and that's why I don't like them.
