heres my personal stand on M$. If you think of every one of M$ products with the exception of the OS's, and imagine all the products ran on a decent OS's (eg Linux :) then think how good M$ really is. There downfall is that they have a 2 bit OS and they charge too much for there products. M$ comes out with some of the best ideas in GUI's and ways of doing things.
