No, no. It's just Microsoft.
Borland and Digital Research put MS to shame back in the late 80s. (compilers and OS)
Then I got Linux around 95 and really liked it. MS API changes were maddening. (had been using a dozen other OSs, mostly *nix, at work the 2 or 3 years before that)
The last few years, I've had to interact with OSX, iOS & Android. It's not about open source vs closed, it's about "works" vs "sprawling, shifting, unreliable mess".
Perhaps MS's foibles would be more forgivable if it weren't perennially shoved down my throat as "industry leader". In what, crapware???
