Why do you care?

When ever something comes up about MS we see the resident MS haters chomping at the bit to kick and smear MS. I find the whole topic very amusing because you pretend to know what MS was or was not doing in the process of purchasing the company, do you really know? Or are you merely using this as another attack on MS? I would guess the later is truth! Many of you in the IT support group forget that you owe your position in many ways to the company that you now love to bash! Think for just a moment, would you have even seen the computer revolution without the windows OS? How many of your customers would have bought computers if they had been forced to use DOS or one of the other older OS's? Is MS perfect? No they are not by any stretch of the imagination, however they seem to be making an effort to clean up their act, whether of not you wish to admit it or not! I sometimes wonder after reading some of the posts by certain individuals on here, if they are so good at knowing what it takes to create an OS, why have they not done it and become the creator of the OS of choice? Perhaps it is because it is easy to sit back and complain about someone elses work and much harder to creat your own! Try it you might become the next Bill Gates if you do!! Be prepared to be hated by those too lazy to compete wiht their own work, however!
