Why? It's opinion, and in my view it is based on at least some facts. I may not have used the same words, but I certainly agree with the sentiment. > Actually many open source programs now come with a Windows > version. What does that have to do with anything? All that means is windows is popular. It has nothing to do with the quality of the OS itself. > So the best option is to get Linux or other alternatives better > and not just keep saying that Microsoft is evil. The best option depends on the person. Unfortunately, for many out there, Windows remains the best option. To say Mickeysoft is evil is pointless in my mind. Mickeysoft does what it can to increase profits and make money. It's no more evil then any other successful corporation in my mind. It is OUR fault (by "our" I mean both consumers and governments) that Mickeysoft has been allowed to do the things it has done to get where it is.
