I am not a big Microsoft fan, having not used Windows or any MS products in about 16 years, until VS Code came along. But this kind of black and white thinking is just at odds with reality. Nothing is wholly good or bad, and so to with Microsoft. They were part of a small group of companies that pioneered Desktop computing. They did so with forceful business tactics, but they changed the world nonetheless, and really did help place a computer in every home. Ths history books will remember their contributions as well as their sins.
