I hide every single article about MS because it's filled with all the neckbeardy tropes about their products being garbage spyware, switch to Linux, they're stealing your data, the OS is trash etc. It's comments from people who have never managed large scale MS based environments comparing their Windows Home to the other 90% of the business ecosystem that has nothing to do with home users or MS's main cash cow, businesses, Azure/Entra and M365. I'm done wasting my breath on MS here.
- squigz 2y agoThis is a funny comment in a thread about low quality discussion.
- bongodongobob 2y agoI'm describing why I no longer engage with MS related posts.
- skissane 2y agoI’ve posted four comments here on Microsoft in the last 30 days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41499957 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41499957 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41408124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41408124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41335757 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41335757 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41327379 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41327379 None of which fit your description of “neckbeardy tropes about their products being garbage spyware, switch to Linux, they're stealing your data, the OS is trash”. And it isn’t just me, because if you look at those comments, I was talking to other people who weren’t invoking those “neckbeardy tropes” either
