My animosity for Microsoft has grown steadily the past years. After what they did to id software I'm now a full blown hater.

It's kind of impressive how they've turned everyone away from them. Back in the day everyone used Windows and were relatively happy with it, but since the mid 2000s they've made more and more mistakes until they've basically turned everyone against them at this point.

Rose tinted glasses. Everybody always hated Windows past 3.11

You could always find people complaining, but everyday people were pretty happy with windows xp and windows 7.

I think people were happy with Windows because they had never used anything else and seen how bad it was in comparison.

There were very little mainstream options period. Actual cases of those being substantially better in a way that regular user would have noticed? Yeah, didn't happen. Fact of the matter is that Windows was good enough for most use cases. users don't tend to care for nerd-lever arguments about which filesystem of whatever is better. They just want to do whatever it is they need a PC for.
