Just lose this brand!
Microsoft is used by people, who didn’t grow up with computers and internet. People who accept and are scared of using something other than they have learned. Microsoft is not able to meet minimum requirements for an easy to use workflow and simple yet powerful interface. The main reason is it’s lack of thinking ahead, innovation and creativity. In addition Microsoft launches dozens of sub licenses of their main brands to confuse any normal user what to buy and what to get! In short Microsoft is a miracle - to dominate 90% of desktop OS worldwide with 0 innovation. Just lose this brand!

I only use Microsoft out of necessity
I only use Microsoft out of necessity. Windows is good to use on a computer that you don’t really care about junking up. I still like to use mine as sort of a garbage dump for music, images, and internet surfing. If you want to do any kind of serious photo, audio, video, or graphics work, you must be certifiably masochistic if you prefer a Windows machine.

I for one can't put up with that nonsense
If you enjoy fiddling with firewall settings..antivirus software..rebooting..defragging..reinstalling obtuse drivers..meddling in a registry(?).. fixing corruptions.. and generally being pissed about - by YOUR computer - then Microsoft is the company for you. I for one can't put up with that nonsense any more.

Haven’t been able to dominate any other market...
I don't see how anyone can call microsoft innovative. Have they ever made any really stunning invention, or at least been the first to do something new and exciting? Not that I can think of. The only reason for their dominant position, is that IBM mistakenly choose them as OS supplier for the original PC. It's revealing to see how Microsoft haven’t been able to dominate any other market where they weren't first able to leverage their PC OS monopoly.

Sucks the joy out of computing
Microsoft suck the joy out of computing. Its not so much the look and feel of their products, it's the humourless bland way they approach what ought to be the most stimulating subject in the world. Sure, their new products are 400 times better than their old products, but thats only because their monopoly allows them to inflict sucky products upon most of the world.

Microsoft stinks
Phew! I can't stand Microsoft! Windows is slow and doesn't play well with others, it is not user-friendly in the least, and Microsoft's innovation is extremely lacking. Their word processing is crude and their database builder is, quite frankly, rather useless for most people. The computers at my old school - brand-new machines - are more likely to freeze up while running Microsoft programs than any other program combined. Quite frankly, Microsoft stinks. Lose it!

First stop
My first stop for Microsoft news, and information on the web, for more than four years now is ActiveWin.com. As a systems analyst, anytime I need Microsoft product information it's the first place I turn to.

A magnitude of 400
Microsoft's latest software development platform .NET has made life easier by a magnitude of 400 for tens of thousands of programmers. It just lets me focus on the aesthetic elements of a software code, while letting the machine figure out the logistics.

Everybody makes mistakes
Microsoft may be everybody's favorite enemy, as countless forum posts all over the web and the 'lose it' votes here can attest to, but it definitely deserves a 'love it' vote for me. Microsoft is far from perfect, but it is without a doubt an innovative company which cares about its customers. It is a company that has proven it can be creative even with some of the most mature products that they offer. Microsoft's OneNote software has also proven that, yes, they can sometimes get it right on the first try. Everybody makes mistakes, Microsoft included, but Microsoft and (most of) its products have done far more good than bad.
