Some of us have worked with their software for many years and don't trust anything they say / do because they can change their minds tomorrow. I sometimes think of MS as a abusing partner that keep beating us up when they feel for it, but then buy us some flowers and chocolate to make up for it.

Edit: spelling

I like this analogy a lot.

An important addition is that they not only buy flowers and chocolate to make up for it, but that they let all your friends know about this. In such a way that when you tell your friends "well, he's really nice now, but last month, when he missed the deadline, it wasn't that good to be home" and they simply don't believe you.

You work for them, and dismiss all the valid arguments as people needing something to be angry about, in spite of their multidecade fuckery. What a slimy shitheel you are.
