That's cool. I hated Micro$oft for a while, for being a bunch of evil money grubbing assholes who made it harder to run the operating system I wanted, applied proprietary extensions to open standards in order to force vendor lock-in [nearly destroying the open web], and who leveraged PC manufacturer deals to tax us for software we didn't want. They literally called Open Source a cancer and lied about what the GPL specified to discourage use of the software. M$ was a monopoly, and all about the cash. It was never supposed to be funny.

Also, irony means suggesting the opposite. I don't know why anyone would use M$ ironically.
