Lots of people hate MS because of their monopolistic practices in the past.

Myself, I always despised the company because of the complete shit quality of their software, starting with DOS. That was a pile of crap from day 1, and while much has changed since then, you can still see the complete disregard for quality in so much of what they do.

Software is going the way other industries go: no real competition, no quality.

It's not that they want to do bad software, it's just they don't have any short-term profit on doing so.
