Do you HATE a Hardware Manufacturer?

[ameratsu]

There are things I dislike about each manufacturer because they make decisions that impact me negatively as a consumer.

Sony boasts about features that make their product superior only to remove them to serve their own interests. Microsoft created some of the most inherently unreliable hardware of all time and refused to do anything about it until forced to act. Nintendo thinks people should pay $60 for their games years after release. Apple locks their operating system onto proprietary hardware that dosen't fit my needs. Nokia phones have convoluted interfaces and buggy software.

Despite this, I don't hate any of these companies and still pay for and use their products. If you 'hate' a company because of the sort products they make, their attitude, or the attitude of their customers (ie: Apple fanboys), you probably need a more constructive hobby.
