General Question  Hawaii_Jake's avatar  Why hate Microsoft?
Asked by Hawaii_Jake (25804 points ) April 28th, 2014  Over the
past few decades, I have known some people who hate Microsoft or
various individual Microsoft products.  Some use alternative
products like Linux and Apple.  I can understand hating
companies that pollute (BP and Exxon) and exploit (Wal Mart),
but hating Microsoft baffles me.  Please, explain the reasons
some people hate Microsoft. I am curious to know the facts.
Personally, I understand disliking Microsoft’s Internet
Explorer, which I haven’t used for a very long time because I
believe other browsers are superior. However, I use Microsoft
Office all the time, and I’m very happy with it.  I understand
having an opinion that is backed by facts, but some of the
people I know who hate Microsoft seem to do so only because of
its success.  Observing members: 0 Composing members: 0  28
