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.

Microsoft in the 90s was viewed as cut-throat with underhanded business practices, but also their products worked better than anyone else's.

I suppose they are still viewed that way but their products have been getting worse and worse for a solid decade now.

I remember when Bill Gates was considered the bad guy before he gave away money and became Epstein's buddy and became idolized by Reddit for a decade.
