Oh, full of the most security holes. Nice touch.

I think you are bitter and just jealous that they make money. IIS has
been consistently rated the FASTEST of all available Web servers.
Microsoft is not perfect but their tools work, they save time and are
the most powerful on the market (ASP Excluded). There is absolutely no
OS that is 100% reliable and secure.
Your bottom line is you like FREE. Do you work fro free? If so you
haven't gotten it yet. If you don't why would you expect others to do
it?

First off, you have to be kidding if you think I'm supposed to feel bad
for Microsoft? I'm sorry but how could I. They bully competitors, over
charge for their products, offer terrible support for their crap, and on
top of that they are smug about it.
Second, as a professional web developer for some time now, I have
examined many of Microsoft's products, and I would like to official
weight in with my opinion.
I think Microsoft products suck. Their OS is crap. Their database tools
are horrible. (SQL Server is a waste of money), their development tools
are horrible (VSS stinks), and their web server (IIS) is slow and full
of security holes. In fact word is HotMail was hacked yet again
yesterday. How many times is that now? My company had to virtually shut
down last week because of yet another worm that found its way into out
system.
I will say that I thought IE was a good browser until the crap they
pulled this week, with "opps -- we accidentally took out Netscape
Plugins. Sorry, no more quicktime". So now I switched back to using
Netscape again. Screw that. I love Quicktime.
The truth is I have been forced into using these products. But they are
not my choice.
At work I use MS because its the company I work for's decision to do so.
But at home I run Red Hat Linux. Because I like having choices. I also
love, love, love the fact that its free. So while others go out and
spend money on software, I'm happily saving mine, and still getting a
rock solid, fast, powerful OS. And that goes for virtual all the
software available for it. Apace, MySQL, PHP, SAMBA, CVS, JAVA and
thousands of other tools.
Go ahead give your money to Microsoft.
They certainly act like they appreciate it. Just look how they treat
people.

I like Microsoft's products...I think some of their business ploys are a
little dirty but hey...It's business. We could turn this into a real
philosophical debate but cmon...the only difference we can make as a
consumer is watchout for our best interests.
I will say though that Win2k was their first operating system.
Everything before that was crap. I did tech support for 2 years and sys
admin for 3. Don't even get me started on win95/98. ;-)

(deep breath)
Why is everyone do agro agro about Microsoft? What do the majority of
you guys use?! I would assume Windows. MS do what they need to do to
survive in still a very competitive market. Anyone can make software
with correct knowledge and tools - its not as if they are countries
using their power to corrupt other nations is it? <cough cough> ring a
bell?
Jeez, look at Apple - they release an already 2 years late OS which you
would have to re-purchase all your software for anyway?! erm and thats
not underhand? Apple are in teh position they are in for one reason,
they didn't license the OS rights - nail in the coffin right there. Oh
and it doesn't work well - something Windows does, despire the hear 'say
- Windows 95/98 I will give you, they were pants, but NT, 2K are pretty
stable - I have never had to reboot a server in anger.
I suggest you guys take the time out to realise just how much work was
put into making the MS business and maybe take some time out from your
bitchin to read Randell E. Stross's book - The Microsoft Way; it is a
fair expose of the man and the company - I think it will open a lot of
eyes.
Maybe the QT thing was deliberate, maybe it wasn't - but there will be a
resolution.
