I hate Microsoft for their arrogance in having a monopoly on the OS market. The impression they give is that a "Windows tax" on each PC sold should not only be expected by users but that a PC without Windows is practically illegal. They constantly use their influence to impede competition (OOXML corruption, patent-sharing FUD campaign, Software Assurance lock-in, discounts on Windows for favoured retailers, using branding (GfW) as a lock-in, buying out or gaining a death grip on threatening companies and witholding information which could help efforts to reverse this, e.g. Wine project). If Microsoft's assets (not employees) were completely erased tomorrow, the world would be a better place.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
