My hate for Microsoft is based on the Embrace-Extend-Extinguish business tactics they use since the 80's instead of competing on product quality.

Take a look at the recent computing history and you'll find plenty of examples of great software killed by MS shitty alternatives that were the default because of the stranglehold on the OS market.
- Not even sure it's EEE, they just clone and provide the clone of a good product for free and/or as part of windows.
  Their products are usually only second best, but kill the market leader anyway.
