blah, i always laugh at microsoft, especially for their cool windows bugs, but its always in a gentle way, ppl must know i will always use windows, it is the best thing out there

Then I would reply don't you hate people who flame people who flame microsoft.

I suppose Microsoft is alright, it's just all the dodgy stuff over the years.

Nerds would use them and Mac wouldn't be in the mainstream so no chavs using them.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If they want to hate Microsoft - so be it, it is their loss. If you don't like something someone posts, don't read it - no one is forcing you.

In the end, you have no right to tell people to stop bashing Microsoft AND you are doing this in the wrong place - you have no right to tell people what their opinion is. Try Neowin.net's forums =).

For the record, I think your rant is biased and therefore irrelevant to this corporate war =).

You're aware that Wine stands for "Wine is not an emulator" right?

i havent been on the forums for ages and i missed thsi entirely but i agree with the original poster. i find that many people when they come to forums have no problem with microsoft but they see the "Posting Freaks" bashing microsoft and copy it cause they think it is cool to do so, and i think many times it is seen as cool to bash microsoft and to love linux and anything open source.

I think you missed the point I was putting across - loads of people just flame em for the sake of it, with no real knowledge, understanding or anything to back up their opinion. Nothing wrong with having an opinion at all.

I hate Apple and Macintosh (bad experiences with their customer services and software), but I dont spend every moment telling everyone that Apple is shit. Ill tell them my expereinces of Apple and knowledge of, if asked (and relevant)... but I wont just go "Apple is shit, etc", without giving a half decent, reply.

And that's fair of you, but like EvilSeph said, everyone's entitled to their opinion, valid or not. Everyone believes themselves to be right.
