Thank you for putting into words exactly how I've felt lately. It's not just Microsoft's past that's turned me off them - patent trolling Android manufacturers and other recent activities have basically solidified in my head that I will not choose Microsoft if I have a choice.

I'd be willing to put the past behind me if they Just Stopped with all of this crap.

They will not stop, they have always been like this.

There's a reason seasoned nerds do not like Microsoft and it is not just because the nerds are raging Linux fanboys. It is because of actual experience dealing with MS over a couple of decades.

Sometimes MS comes out with something good but at a point (usually within 3 years) marketing will take over and run it into the ground.
