One of the main problems I have with MS is that they are a multi-billion dollar company with despicable business ethics. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen since I am a programmer by trade. Whenever I sit down at a machine running an MS OS, I get a yucky, dirty feeling. I can't help thinking of all the crap that goes into their OS. That's just me, okay. I think there is a lot of truth to that rant and I use Linux myself.

The old "Windows has no drivers" (they never heard of the HCL obviously) and yet drivers are available from the vendor (as it should be) Whereas Linux has drivers for ~everything~, because the vendors can't be arsed to support the platform, and when they do the community Demands Teh Source, kvetches and bitches at the company when upstream breaks compatability, etc..
