Criticism of Microsoft - Wikipedia And this is what you are allowed to read, cited for public reading that will not cause any serious damage to the said company. Limited information is what you can base your trust on, and it still raises way too much suspicion in many of us to just blindly say we can trust this company. Just by focusing our curiosity on technical aspects of windows, such as bad development of the operating system, security holes and broken features was always a joke among IT circles for decades, and everybody just say “hah, its windows, what do you expect”. But if we are projecting this company to the real world, we see much more malcontent and misbehavior, that is unacceptable. What do you think, why is Windows the leading desktop operating system on the market? And we are talking 80%+ market share. It is not because windows is that good, because we all know it is not, and most likely the worst. Still it is the leading company. What is your idea, why? How would you achieve this magnitude of success?
This way of thinking is self centric, and only want to see what liking to see. Anything else will not concern you. This by all means ignorance in my narrow vocabulary, and this behavior is very helpful to allow the wide spreading of misconducted telemetry.
Please excuse me for quoting you and i am making somewhat offensive reactions to your posts, i do not mean to harm you. I intended these lines to be informative in the hope it helps many readers to better understand the situation we are approaching very quickly.
It is clear that many of us do not recommend for others to pledge their trust to microsoft or any of their products. It also very important to evenly divide the market of desktop computer operating systems. That’s something we all like to see, it is called fair competition. Still, linux really deserves the attention, and it already serves as the best and rock solid operating system for high availability network solutions, and in the last 15+ years development was focused on the desktop solutions as well.
I am having high hopes that in the foreseeable future desktop computer users will indeed be able to aquire decent alternatives, such as linux for everyday operations, and for professional applications as well. Supporting is crucial to achieve this, and if you allow me a cliche i’d like to say “You want something? Make it happen!”
