Far too many answers to "Why do you use Windows" are "Because I play games on it." You don't have to but you didn't answer the question. Anyone else is free to answer, too.
I don't fancy Microsoft, though I do need to use them. Linux OS is good, but not for what I need it for. They did make the Xbox360 though, which is great.
I use XP and it is surely a good product....What I do not like is their heavy handed pricing policy and at time indifferent attitude towards upgradation. Though, I do not hate Microsoft.....I do not like them as well... Regards, RightMan
Even though I use the Microsoft Operating System, the main reason why I hate them is because of their Web Browser. As a web designer it makes my job a whole lot harder for having to make another set of code for IE so that it will render the page properly. Microsoft wants to do their own stuff and not make their browser run W3C Compliant code.
I love Microsoft. No reason to hate. The first reason why I use MS was because the affordable price of their product. and it come together with my PC too. Well, MS is compatible with a lots of program and easy to be handle. But I still wish that I can run on an iMac! haha
Let's see what do I use... Office, XP, Vista, Home Server I must not hate them too much. After tweaking with Vista for a while I have actually come to like it quite a bit. And Home Server is excellent if you are tying to setup a vary basic server for media, it makes sharing home videos and pictures with my family all over the country a breeze.
We all are taught from childhood to use windows, there are very rare cases when people start off their first PC experience on Linux or MAC. We are forced to use windows, and i have no reason to hate it, as i use it everyday and like it a lot. May be i wont, after using linux or mac.
how many times do i have to say this... each N every Corp. is built on the premise of profit. MS might be bad but that doesn`t make Apple a lesser evil!!
I certainly don't hate them, but wow am I disappointed in recent years. I mean can anyone really tell me that Vista and IE are not complete crap?
