After I bought a new computer some years ago with Windows Vista on it, my attitude toward Microsoft changed.

I swore revenge. That’s right. Whether you call it a Jihad, a crusade, or a revival of the Lincoln County Cattle War, I’m on board.

Night after night as my operating system imploded destroying my data, I got angrier and angrier. Than came the ultimate humiliation. It’s two o’clock in the morning and I’m busy at work. Suddenly the computer shuts down and loads updates. That’s right! My robodatakiller computer operating system went Hal on me.

Then Microsoft responded to the complaints. Their spokesman explained that these problems were temporary and basically added that they weren’t going to make any real changes and people like me should learn to suck it up.

Now, I challenge you to find anything with a microsoft label in my home.

So, the article in CNN Money was not unwelcome to me.

However, it acted like Microsoft’s problems were just a matter of poor timing and products not being competitive.

Apparently the writer doesn’t understand hatred.
