I get your point but I do empathize with the OP in the msoft bigotry here gets really old. Those of us that use it feel ostracized and bucketted to second class citizen status. For those lost in the .net world, I'll say the feeling is mutual on the other side of the fence.

I suspect part of the grind is that code changes for microsoft requires a litany of testing and release planning and such. Being beholden to a paying userbase ties ones hands in numerous ways (god forbid their patch breaks something else). That said, there is no excuse for sloppy communication.
