M$ is pure evil
M$ never had any good product. They got there by dirty, illegal activities. Why people "have to use" M$ products, because everyone else does, and often you have no other option.
Let's see, majority of games are played in a Windows environment, you don't like it, then there is nothing out there for you. You want other people to read your document, save it as M$ compatible format or else. The list goes on, but there is nothing good about M$ ever, it just got there and now you will have to follow regardless you like it or not.
Can we say the same about Google? Hell no. I can perfectly search without google, I don't need Gmail (I do have an account there, since it is free anyway), or other google services. Google got where it stands today, because it is that good. But, it is still just one company you can live without. M$ for majority of today's users, is the kind of thing you absolutely hate, but you cannot live without.
