Why I hate Microsoft products... So many reasons.
Windows is a resource hog, every new version, basically required new hardware or some upgrades to get a useful machine. I don't use about 80% of the crap Windows loads into memory, or installs on my HD.
I liked DOS, but got forced into Windows, when the DOS versions of the software I used and liked, no longer came in that option. The operating system should be smaller than most of the applications you run on the computer.
Windows updates...... Endless, either suffer through slow internet or constant reminders to download. Automatic or manual, it's still annoying. If the damn thing is running reasonably stable, why risk it.
Price, way too high for something I don't want anyway. People use to need to go to school to learn how to use a computer. Microsoft eliminated that need, so the thousands of students who wasted their time and money getting a degree, ended up with a basically worthless piece of paper, and student loans to pay. No decent paying career, without going back to school, or a little luck.
Sure Microsoft product work great for some people, perfect for an office environment. Unfortunately, there are a lot of other uses for computers, and Windows really kills performance. Microsoft does try to prevent software from being develop for multiple operating systems.
