Poll question: What's your favorite epithet for Microsoft?

I just call them an "enormous employer that drives our local economy and without whom we would be pretty fucked right now."

Why Is It that Linux and Mac users are always criticizing Microsoft?

I almost never see Microsoft users criticizing Linux and Macs.

It's not like Linux and Mac operating systems are perfect, they have Issues also.

Some pretty virulent Mac Hatred.

At any rate - I don't like MS because it is a predatory monopoly that has put many a good company out of business thru its unfair business practices. And the software they produce just isn't good - bloated, non-intuitive. I truly believe that the computer world etc would be much better off, with more innovation, if MS never existed. Basically MS is the Republican Party of the computer world.

A general and accurate expression of Bill Gates you know what.

Seriously though, I only complain about their bloated op system. I like the Office Suits for Mac OS X. I used MS products for years, and still do (my company is MS only). I am glad they have so many employees in the US.
