On topic: If we leave the bastard from Braunau aside, there's nothing to hate about Austria.
When I think of Austria, I think of Wiener Schmäh, humour in general and of the country's culture:
Mozart, Bruckner, Haydn, Korngold, Mahler, Schubert, Strauß (father/son), Klimt, Burgtheater, Nestroy, Zweig, Bachmann, Bernhard, Jelinek, Oskar Werner, Kruder & Dorfmeister...
My favourite person from Austria(-Hungary) is Galician-born movie writer/director Billy Wilder. He created some of the best movies ever and - as he was not always happy with the country of his childhood - he said the following, which is my favourite quote about Austria:
"The Austrians are brilliant people. They made the world believe that Adolf Hitler was a German and Ludwig van Beethoven an Austrian."
By the way: Rol, did you scare all other Austrian members off the site? It seems they don't post anymore.
