I like to avoid as much Microsoft as I can. I have Vista, but that's about it.

I use OpenOffice and GoogleDocs
I use FireFox
I use WinAmp
I have an iPod

Isn't that a bit narrowminded?

To me that's like someone saying they would avoid the Nintendo Wii just because it's made by Nintendo even though they'd be missing a lot of great games.

Why? I don't like Microsoft's tools. Every tool I mentioned is better than the MS equivalent. If IE was better I'd use that. I have nothing against the brand itself, just the quality of the products.

Your first post didn't convey that too well.  That first bold sentence basically implies the opposite of the second bold sentence.

I'm most definitely a products > brand person as well.  If the product is good, then I'll use it.  If it's not, I won't.
