Why is it that, more often than not, whenever someone says something positive about a Microsoft product or the company itself, they have to start with:
- I can't stand Windows but...
- I'm 100% GNU/Linux but...
- Microsoft and/or BillG can burn in hell but...
- etc.
Why the need for justification? We're all informed people here. Can we state positive facts about Microsoft without fear of backlash? Can I post this reply without fear of it being buried?

This wasn't the first positive post about Microsoft tech I've ever done. The answer to your question is: no we can't. :-) Just recently I got beaten to death by OSX and Linux fanboys on reddit for mentioning superior threading/process switching on Windows.
- nanexcool 18y agoSorry, didn't mean to single you out!
- mixmax 18y agoYes we're all informed people, but we're also mere mortals suspectible to the same psychology as everyone else. Including instinctively downvoting something that doesn't fit with our worldview.
