I'm basically asking, why does everyone hate Microsoft...
Do you use Windows?
But seriously Microsoft and their anti-competitive strategies have made the PC a worse place. Billions of users and web developers have suffered because they were unable to create a decent browser that follows basic standards after they destroyed the competition through their OS monopoly.
You know the Microsoft mantra for open standards? Embrace, Extend, Extinguish? Thats not only a joke.
They also deeply annoy me with their licensing, their attempts to lock down MY computer and because I am not able to simply switch to a different OS because they simply have a monopoly and the software I need doesn't work on non-Windows systems.
They have also no ounce of style, provide some of the ugliest interfaces known to mankind (original Fisherprice XP skin, 360 blades interface) and I had to help a couple of people who made the mistake of installing Windows ME back in the time.
