Why did people hate Microsoft?
Criticism of Microsoft has followed various aspects of its products and business practices. Issues with ease of use, robustness, and security of the company’s software are common targets for critics. In the 2000s, a number of malware mishaps targeted security flaws in Windows and other products.
