There is considerable venomous hatred from some here for Microsoft, too.
Note that it is entirely possible that this hatred of Microsoft is
justified. In fact I know it *is* understandable for many things that
Microsoft has done. But the key point in this particular context is that
it does exist.
And so I use the word "hate" in this context solely because it the
*correct word*.
I say again that I understand this hatred for Microsoft.
I think I get it, what you're saying, you think we are being childish
and trowing a tantrum. You think we are not being logical. Mad, angry,
annoyed, irritated are logical but hatred is in no way logical.
It's just not
an attitude that I share, despite also despising many of the things that
Microsoft has done or is still doing (you mentioned Windows 10's spyware
and this is one of the things that angers me). Nor am I a particular fan
of Microsoft.
Nope, wasn't me. I DO hang with people who develop and talk all aspects
of windows, but I'm retired and have not used, worked on or own windows
10, but what I do think is that the operating system itself, including
it's safe-boot are malware. It's now close to 20yrs since microsoft
announced,(if you have windows installed) "we own your computer". All
they need to do now is get your social security number and take the
money out of your bank for the illegal install of windows on a persons
computer. Can they do that?
I simply try to be dispassionate when analysing businesses
and business dealings.
As you say it's just business. So Bill Gates is in pharmaceuticals now
and he's a humanitarian for curing disease some place out of the usa in
small poor foreign countries, what a guy! Truth be told, he could not
get permission to test the drug here in the usa. But media made it read
just like another microsoft commercial and what the public sees. Yes,
what a guy, what a business model.
