If we talk bout hating, my answer would be no but I cant say that I like Microsoft too. For Microsoft and all their executive officers, it's like a monopoly game. Just look at the differences between Linux and Windows. Which one is safer, which one is better, which one is more useful. Just read about this compare on blogs or magazines, then say that I like Microsoft, absolutely no way !
I didn't know this. (I knew about having to add codes to scripts for different browser behavior) - But I didn't know MS browser was built without compliance For the other guy that posted to me. I'm not saying I couldnt' find a product that would perform for me the same as my Microsoft does, but since I've been using it since the mid 1990's, I would not be inclined to relearn a new system or waste time hunting for one. Microsoft and windows was an awesome experience for me way back then PLUS, I started out with old Compuserve, moved on to AOL, then discovered Internet Explorer and became attached to it very much. I am addicted to XP, and feel some resentment towards MS for pushing Vista on me with the new PC... oh wellz
This is an entirely useless thread - and whether you love or hate MS, technology is where it is today largely because of them.
Why should I hate MS? For Windows ? If someone don't want to use their OS, no problem to switch to any other OS.
the most of us downloaded the Windows OS from torrents or "rented" the install disks from some friends. the biggest part of those who hate Microsoft never paid a cent for using their product and still feel they have a word to say. why hate a product you didn't paid for? those who paid for it, who bought it - they love it, because they worked to can afford it and they knew that nothing is perfect
I do not hate microsoft, don't forget microsoft big achivements and contribution in the world of IT. They are also human like we are, so mistakes can happen.
why we always have to hate it... if it is bother you just leave it! i have no problem with microft, i love them
MS had becamed as a part of my life. So I am going to love it deeply. But not goint to hate OSX,Linux,Soloris
I don't hate Microsoft, I've had my share of issues in the past, it was really annoying, but with all honestly in the past 3yrs I haven't encountered any issues with Windows anymore!! rarely get virus issues anymore, no crashing, i never actually got the blue screen. These days I don't have any problems.. so Im fairly happy with the status of Windows atm. And with Windows 7 im really impressed.. I've used OSX before, I like OSX better then Vista, but now I can def say I like Windows 7 :] out of all the operating systems I've used.. And no i don't use anti virus, I haven't used anti virus ever!! I obviously don't download from p2p but I always dl from torrents or with rapidshare links.. As far as im concerned viruses aren't a problem with windows anymore..
