All reasons to hate macroshaft .. ?

Could you maybe like gemme some reasons that are easy understandable for newbies that macroshaft really IS crap? I know it, and i want to spread the hate by making an article in my school newspaper.

thx,

Maybe the UNIX forum isn't the best place to discuss how rubbish Microsoft is, but i'm splitting hairs, this is the M$ eradication society after all, let's go:

firstly, for some of those reasons, have a read through the strangely titled Reasons Not To Use M$... topic thread.

Secondly, too numerous to really go through point by point, spend a happy hour or two flicking through the Microsoft In The News, Microsoft Operating Systems and Feature Articles forums, for Windows related stuff. They not only contain the considered thoughts of the people who post on this site, but they are liberally sprinkled with links to informative Microsoft related articles as well.
Thirdly, if you want dirt about Microsoft's non-OS fuckware, have a look in the Applications forum.
Happy reading, good luck, and don't stay up too late!  ;)

The reason I don't use M$ stuff unless forced to is that M$ is all about taking away your freedom.

Also Microsoft os closed source....this means that it is impossible to actually know what the software  is doing...you can guess what its doing but you can 't "know"....it's just impossible.

On the other hand Linux and others are open source.  This means that all the software is peer reviewed.  

In health care we say treatments must be published and peer reviewed before we can administer them to patients.  Anything NOT peer reviewed is Quackery...and unscientific.

Microsoft = Quackery
Open Source = Scientific Method applied to software.

I'm not really interested in "spreading hate" but really think that people should be informed. This link is from another topic on this site.

I'm running Win ME(Microsoft Excrement)
Everytime I touch my keyboard I feel dirty.
