    Microsoft’s name was basically equivalent to dogshit from the mid-90s until maybe the mid 2000s.

    I’m old enough to remember well the Microsoft hate. It’s not so much they’ve changed their ways, but Google has now taken the trident and diverted attention away from them.

      Yes, this right here. It’s really the same ol shitty Micro-fuck, Google just wanted to be king of the shit-mound for the most morally and ethically bankrupt corporation of this age. [edit] Google and Facebook are just vying for the crown of “biggest asshole corporation in the world”

        Fuck all three but at least Google and Microsoft provide something I can potentially get some use out of, although I’m with you and plan to be 100% Linux in a few years

        When choosing my last phone it was a case of “which is the least shitty of my options to share all my data with”
