I hated Microsoft for years, for all the stupid garbage they pulled. Antitrust stuff, terrible software, mismanagement, etc. Even after switching to using a Mac full time, I still had to deal with awful Office documents with undocumented changes, or 'XML-based' documents with undefined data formats. Sending my resume to someone and finding out the entire thing had been reformatted into Courier New and lost all my indenting, making me look like an idiot, etc. But lately, things have changed. Apple is the new Google, loved by the tech world. Google is the new Microsoft, using their market power to do dumb stuff that no one really cares about, and Microsoft is the new Apple, the underdog who got left behind by changing technology and ego and is making a serious, determined effort to become and stay relevant, to put out good products, and to regain their position as a market leader (earned this time, and not strong-armed).
