Time to stop hating Microsoft billbennett.co.nz

@billbennettnz I still hate the Microsoft of the late 90s-early 2000s. In the late 2000s with Ballmer at the helm they were a pathetic dinosaur slowly sinking into a pit, desperately grasping at anything they could to pull themselves out. Keeping Ballmer on as long as they did was a fundamental mistake, he was completely incapable of captaining the company through as rapidly changing market and “Windows on Everything" was proven again and again to be a terrible idea.

I don't hate modern Microsoft. They're just there. Excel and Word are still awful, but their new initiatives are good and innovative and distinct from offerings from other players.
