Edited on Thu May-31-07 03:55 PM by ET Awful
In fact, if you look back at my posting history on DU, I've supported MS continously.
I do however disapprove of their tactics of stealing ideas from other people and marketing them as their own, which is something they have done since their inception, from DOS to Excel to Windows, they have always stolen or misappropriated the ideas of others. To ignore that is to ignore fact.
Apple has at least gotten away from that tactic (although at first, they were just as bad, they stole the idea for a graphical interface and a mouse from Xerox).
You can hurl false accusations all you like.
But, considering that I work as a network administrator in an all Microsoft environment, use MS products daily, recommend them daily, and have over 15 years of experience doing so, I can comfortably state that I do not hate Microsoft.
You can quit hurling your false accusations now.
