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.

 

Yeah, that sentence wasn't very clear. I meant to say that I avoid Microsoft products due to quality. Besides my original post also states I have a 360, so that already says I'm not against Microsoft (although I must say the quality is not brilliant, it sounds like a busy airport, but it has the games I want, so yeah).

iPod is definitely not the best mp3 player, nor is Zune, but it's just the cool thing to have. OO is free, which is nice, and I haven't found anything I couldn't do in OO, which is possible in MSO. Better doesn't always mean the quality perse, there are multiple factors that can determine "better".
