It isn't "daft"
There are people who have gotten burned by MS in the past. Some enough such that their gut instinct is to reject based on the creator. There is nothing wrong with that, it is a survival thing. "You fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." It is that sort of thing but for some more like "...fool me 4+ times..."

If you had a choice between a serial killer and a complete stranger, which would you deputize as a cop w/ a gun?

Anyway, MS has pissed me off enough that I usually look at and try the alternatives first before going MS. This is fine, but the personal value of the MS product is now deminished by the cost of migrating and retraining from the alternative. Before, it used to be the other way around.

It isn't daft, it is a realistic way of making decisions.
