I dislike any and all monopolies. Windows and Office have remained absurdly expensive for how little they have changed in 7 years, and in particular businesses and governments are forced to pay over and over for the same product, and even upgrade their computers just because Microsoft says so (yes, this actually happened).
MS have also been at the forefront of what I dislike about modern gaming. Achievements, ads, storefronts, DRM, microtransactions, paid online, social media, DLC, and loss leadership.
Breaking the "everyone has Windows and Office" mentality solves both problems. The software will have to compete, the pricing will have to come down, and gaming stops getting to spend without regard to the consequences and drag the industry down with it.
