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.

 

You said first that you try to avoid microsoft as much as you can. That sounds like you don't really care about quality, you just have something against the company. Also, how is OOo better than ms office? Or ipod better than zune? Well, at least you support ms with what counts for them. Your OS.
