I think the problem is you're presenting personal judgements as facts.
Rather than "I find MS's software to be crappy," you say "MS makes
crappy software." The very "MS is a crappy company, and it doesn't
matter what everyone else thinks" sounds very bigoted.

ok ok, maybe I'm exagerating here, but MS HAS done some very crappy
software, you can't tell me I'm wrong in that. Windows 2000, for me, is
a master peace of OS, an example of low memory and extreme efficiency
and stability, something MS forgot when they made WinXP. Since WinXP is
a hybrid between Win2K and WinME, I think they put too much of WinME in XP.

Oh dude... I don't have enough words to describe my disgust for Bill
gates and Microcrap.
Listen I come from the time of MS DOS, I was a noob programmer back
then and among compilers, .dll and other basic programming components
the chat between close friends was don't use that MS
compiler/component/program is very slow, is buggy it doesn't do well
this... is crappy. Maybe MS has changed in part that but that's all I'm
admitting.
About MS (lol)... a few months ago Internet Explorer 7 Team invited some
Mozilla FIreFox guys to help them better Integrate FireFox into the,
back then, up coming Windows "Long Horn" (Vista), but I read in some
other article later on, that they basically asked for help to give IE7
tabbed capability and other FireFox security features, with all the
millions, sorry BILLIONS... they ask developers from a freeware
organization ADVICE. MS develops programming laguages... enough said.

I'm not sure how related this is...
Three or four people were fired from the Yahoo! Widgets team today.

No dispute with that, indeed. But it tends to disappear pretty quickly,
just like everyone else's crappy software. Microsoft Bob? Windows ME?

So you don't like them today, because you heard gossip about their
products 15 years ago?

Wow, you mean they were actually humble enough to ask for advice?
That's really impressive, coming from such a big corporation!

lol, yeah sorry, my english is not very good, masterpiece, yes. I have
pushed it to see how stable it is, an is ROCK SOLID. I have loaded about
45 apps while I was listening music in winamp 2.89, connected to
internet and surfing/downloading on ADM K6 II-500 Mhz with 256 MB RAM.
Unless you do a illigal stuff like deleting/closing system stuff in the
registry/memory or files/folders, wont give you any kind of error.
The deal is simple: you don't mess with it, it wont mess with you.
