This is a serious false accusation. Am I not allowed to prefer Windows? All I did was correct the rampant misinformation and bias against Windows that rarely gets challenged. And do you really think someone working for Microsoft would post something like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/7of68m/surface_pro_intermittent_pen_inaccuracy_when_hand/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/7of68m/surface_pro...

I didn't say you work for Microsoft. I have no way of knowing that, and it doesn't seem likely. But you can't use HN exclusively to promote one company over others. The reasons ought to be obvious.

  But I'm not promoting any company. Most of my comments are just correcting misinformation and explaining why I use Windows. And as you can see on reddit, I heavily criticized MS and the media regarding the Surface Pen issues that they keep ignoring. That thread even got stickied on the Surface subreddit. I also regularly criticize Windows 10 there, and praise iPads and ChromeOS. So please reconsider this ban.

  Here is more proof that I'm not promoting for MS https://www.google.com/search?q=niveageforge+pen+issue+site:www.reddit.com https://www.google.com/search?q=niveageforge+pen+issue+site:... I'm the most vocal about this pen issue, that could potentially cost MS billions of dollars if they need to recall those devices. I once posted a pen issue thread that got banned from /r/Microsoft once. https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoft/comments/82ilso/the_workanywhere_surface_pro_with_lte_can_now_be/ https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoft/comments/82ilso/the_worka...

    I don't disbelieve you but from our point of view it is beside the point. The point is that you've used HN primarily to argue for one company, and that's a serious abuse of this site. And we don't allow agenda-driven accounts or single-purpose accounts in general.

      I just happen to be very enthusiastic about hybrid 2-in-1s and pen computing (which most of my comments are actually about), which happens to be best supported on Windows, my primary OS. I also support forward looking OS architectures, such as ChromeOS and especially Fuschia. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17053858 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17053858 And the web as an OS platform. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17071867 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17071867 And here I praised Safari on iOS. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15412075 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15412075 Also, there are plenty of things I don't like about Microsoft, such as not educating devs what WSL is really about. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17073777 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17073777 As you can see, I support forward looking stuff, regardless of which company it's from.
