Actually, MS generally had a pretty good product compared to their 
competition, for the areas they were competing in. It wasn't perfect, and it 
lacked a lot of features, but it worked fairly well if you were in their 
target market, compared to anything else close to the same price. It's 
really only their competition that hated them, not their customers.
