This is my Microsoft is evil page

Don't take this personally, but as someone who loved Windows for years I find it really distrubing in which direction the whole Microsoft ecosystem is moving since around the time of Windows 7.

In particular, I hate you Microsoft for ...

... pushing your own proprietary document format, instead of using the standardized ODT format

... not testing your products

... XMLing everything

... causing needless electronic waste

... what you have done to Skype

... Windows Vista

... making Windows an advertisement platform

... everything you have done with Minecraft. Including your broken Linux launcher, where I have to login EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

... your email servers do not want to operate with mine

... throwing user privacy rights under the bus
