I agree with Freequaker. There are legitimate and sound arguments in regards to the way MS handles their OS platform. It is something oft discussed among computer techs and network admins. They do a lot for the industry and their products bring a lot of innovation, but some of the decisions they make and general practices are made with great criticism in the field. In that regard though, Freequaker's thoughts have come off much harsher than probably they should be intended.
As for mentioning the MS fan base here, he obviously know the count, but most don't. What he does know, from what he has experienced here is that there are a decent number of aggressive hoodlums who are overly defensive and utterly incapable of addressing criticism without it regressing to petty squabble, name calling, denial, intentional derailment, or evangelized avoidance.
Do any of you actually care or know much about MS to be able to formulate an argument? Or does it boil down to very miniscule products or public adoption that outweighs any concern or desire for the overall business approach? Let alone understand it. |
Id like to ask does the OP know enough about Ms since everything he said was based on half truths.
Id also like to point out that the is Fanboys on this site from all sides of consoles thats just as bad as each other.
So trying to say Ms fanboys are worse then such a such a fanboys is pretty one sided imo as every fanboy is as bad as each other.

From what Freequaker has experienced, it is pretty bad. There are far fewer MS fans on this site and the most active ones don't provide that much input a lot of the time. When "attacked" or critized a few of them act in a certain manner, while I see that with all groups, the ratio of good MS fans is pretty low. Essentially, I'd like to see better MS fans frequent the site, but we tend to have the more harshly opinionated ones.
