Hi Mostly the same reasons as bhaagensen.
I've been involved in the computer industry one way or another for over 30 years and I've never been impressed by anything M$ have ever done. The cavalier attitude to product quality which M$ have demonstrated time and time again simply does not meet my requirements for myself or my customers. I tolerate M$ OS and apps for business use only because I must exchange files with other companies that use M$ products. However, quality and reliability are everything when it comes to home applications - no way is rebooting ever an acceptable solution - WAF zero. I will never use a M$ based OS for any home control or entertainment application. M$ buying Logitech alone would be bad enough - I've always liked Logitech mice - good quality and reliable. I fear that would change once the bean counters at M$ apply the thumbscrews. As for a M$ branded Duet or SB3 - how long would it be before it would be necessary to use a M$ only server platform because of some perceived benefit or misguided marketing directive? I watch developments with interest and fear!
