Main reason I have allways hated microsoft is basically cuz I'm a bigtime Apple Loyalist. I got into computers with the Apple II, migrated to the Mac and have been there ever since.

I started back in the day, and thought Mac's were wonderfull! It was great when we were king of the GUI and the home desktop... untill WIN3.1!!!! Grrrrr.... I hated that sodden pice of rubish the minute it hit PC's. I was enraged to hear people saying that now their PC's worked like Mac's, when they so did not know what the fuck they were talking about.

As a Mac user, I saw the insideus creep of microsft bloatware infiltrate my market like a plague and hated every minute of it. How could people increse the marketshare of this most pathetic attempt at a GUI when the Mac is sooooo much better?

It was even worse watching Apple fuck up their buissness time after time, and be oblivious to M$ as they copied them left and right. Why did they oust Jobs? Apple got their just deserts in this period for turning it's back on it's own creator.

And so Time went, on and then Came Win95. By this point it was too late, Marketing clout, and the overwhelming money M$ had, destroyed the Mac market share and reduced it to wavering between teh 3 and 5 percent it manages to keep today. We, the proud, the few, the Mac Zealots.

My beef with Microsoft is a personal hatred. It's the hatred of seeing a plagerist, a cheet, a swindler, use your complacancy to steal your wind and take the gold away from it's rightfull winner. I could care less if M$ made the best products in the world, I never have subscribed to the idea that the ends justify the means and never will. A company with low ethics, is not a company I will stand by.
