Re: Why do you hate Microsoft I love Microsoft!
Back in the old days, I used to invite Bill over for dinner all the time,
Steve Ballmer is a little scary though, so I've never invited him...not so sure I'd want that guy in my house.

I've never like Office, won't use it. I don't want any of MS photo programs, I have Photoshop. I do hate IE. I hate anything with the label "MY." I resent paying for all this crap when I don't want it. I see the price came down on 8 but it's too late. I'm keeping certain software offline on XP (no worry about security) and using Ubuntu for the rest.
Now I'm pissed at the totally software run household. I want a programmable robot to do the stuff I find boring. I can program my household myself. We are minimalist so it's fairly easy. |

Ditto. Bill is a bit of a nerd, as expected. But Steve seriously has a few loose bolts.
Bill likes the stronger beer, which surprised me.
I think the issue with Microsoft is not their products, but the companies that they deal with. There have some laptops that have no business being sold with Windows 7 and other apps that run like complete crap. Not really the fault of MS. While Apple sells their OS/Hardware together, they're making sure it runs decent.
If MS came out with their own branded computers, they'd run fine. But you'd not expect to pay much less than $700 or $800 for it.
