It has nothing to do with being the "tall poppy". It has something to do with the public image of the company. Microsoft has created a massive amount of goodwill by doing incredible things for communities. Apple on the other hand is doing one fail after the other and isn't listening to customers.
That's why Apple gets the hate.
- scarface74 7y agoApple only gets hate by the geek community.
- mhermher 7y agoThey just get hate from people that just want to use a normal macbook.
- rowanG077 7y agoNo. Designers at my company are also livid that there macboks keep breaking after a couple months of use.
- Razengan 7y agoPeople at MY company are all happy with everything about the new MacBooks.
- rowanG077 7y agoI wonder if they will still like them once half their machines no longer have functioning keyboards.
- Razengan 7y agoMost of them have been using them since 2015-2016 and they're still all fine.
- rowanG077 7y agoYes those were the last generation were the keyboards are fine. No one uses computers older then 3 years here so we have large issues with having to send back macbooks multiple times a year. I generally judge a company on what they have done recently not what they did 4 years ago.
- Razengan 7y ago> Yes those were the last generation were the keyboards are fine. No, those were the ones with the first-generation butterfly mechanism, and they have gotten better since then. No one I know has had to return a MacBook. Even the one from 2011 that I sold to a friend around 5 years ago, which is still being happily used by his children.
- rowanG077 7y agoWhich macbooks do they have? 13 inch ones?
- maximente 7y ago> Microsoft has created a massive amount of goodwill by doing incredible things for communities i can't tell if this is sarcasm, recency bias, or something more nefarious. have you heard of embrace, extend and extinguish? but, i'll bite - what incredible things for communities have they done?
- rowanG077 7y agoI have heard of it. I have also heard of this little thing called change. afaik Microsoft hasn't recently done anything like embrace, extend and extinguish. > but, i'll bite - what incredible things for communities have they done? Visual studio code. .NET core. Making visual studio free. WSL, joining the linux foundation, typescript. I could go on...
