Because in many ways they are right.
Steve Ballmers boorish recent behavior with Yahoo
is indicative of what is wrong with the
company. (We will do anything to get our own way.)
Vista sucks! BIG TIME. Many who I speak to do
not want it will overwrite it with XP in an
instant. Applications do not work with it and it is a hardware hog.
They remind me of a higher learning institute
that has packed its faculty with graduate
students of it's own design. Good Universities
limit the faculty who have graduate degrees from
their institution so they do not become hide
bound. MS has forgotten that dictate and now is paying the price.
Bill Gates may have started a great company (I
still love their hardware) but he is also allowing it to become a has been.

"Windows is dying, Windows applications suck,
and Microsoft is too blinkered to fix any of
itthat's the argument. The truth is that
Windows is hampered by 25-year old design
decisions. These decisions mean that it's clunky
to use and absolutely horrible to write
applications for. The applications that people
do write are almost universally terrible.
They're ugly, they're inconsistent, they're
disorganized; there's no finesse, no care
lavished on them. Microsoftsurely the company
with the greatest interest in making Windows and
Windows applications exude qualityis, in fact, one of the worst perpetrators."
QUESTION: Why is the press picking so on MS?
