      Lol. As if. MS has been predatory and nasty during all its existence. Even during the MS DOS days, it pulled some incredibly shady stuff against DR DOS, and it’s only gotten worse since then.

      What timeline is this? xD If anything, Microsoft is less hostile these days than they were in the 90s and early 2000s

        I’m just talking about the quality of the product, not their shady business practices. By the way, it’s easy for them to appear less hostile now that they almost have the monopoly on pc and office apps

      Microsoft, if anything, has become more decent (releasing at least some of their stuff as free and open source software) since the 1990s.
