I never understand comments like this, where people act as if they know better but make no effort to actually demonstrate their superior knowledge.
It almost seems like you’re less interested in changing minds and more in fishing for upvotes from the 'Microsoft bad' crowd.
I don't have superior knowledge, but it's probably useful to recognize the way I see that company is very different than yours and other people.
I don't think we can agree, and my goal is not to convince you, but remind that there's people like me who think Microsoft represents so many bad things that I can write a book about it.
To illustrate, I'm sure 20 years from now recall will be as divisive as windows 7,10 or how they were completely opposed to open source and now act like that never happened.
If you disagree with someone enough to feel it’s necessary to say so, it’s generally advisable to explain exactly what you disagree with and provide reasoning for your stance. Otherwise, you’re just making noise. A truly informed person has no trouble coming up with a few examples to back up their claims. It’s quite patronizing to imply that you have some insight I don’t, and then not even bother to share it - especially when following it up with, 'I don’t think we can agree,' after putting zero effort into reaching an understanding.
