 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/17847&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Matt Connor&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;zeldatra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;quot;Compatibility&amp;quot; is a hell of an excuse to run software which is purposely incompatible with a lot of things. Also, Microsoft IS quite bad. Developing a standard (.docx) and not following it yourself so others who do are incompatible with your products? Check. Forcing a monopoly by bundling software to forcefully take others out of business? Check. Releasing low-quality products? Check. (Does anyone remember Windows ME? Where you could press X at the login prompt and log in as Administrator? Yeah, that.) Going for low-quality temporary solutions? Check. (Pre-installed antivirus in Windows 8 instead of just making the system safer) Being hypocritical liars? Check. (Anti-Linux FUD campaign where they talk about Ubuntu being bad for having a lot of updates, and then praising Windows for always being up-to-date). Oh, if only I could find my list of things Microsoft does that warrants them being called a terrible company, I would need SO MUCH MORE than 1000 characters.</html>
