All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
The "Microsoft fucking sucks so hard" thread
Siplus:
just because they want to sell a product does not mean that they will become as corrupt as microsoft. as far as i can tell, most proprietary companies are trying to create good products, and microsoft isn't. that is their biggest difference. microsoft is not the direct result of the 'system', they have perverted the system
HPC GUY:
Ms sucks because they Gobble up little companies (as in buy them out) with good products then close them down. The little guy gets screwed.

Hey I think MS Office is technically the "best" office suite out there right now... but I still wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Likewise with OS X or Adobe Photoshop. Microsoft does make some decent software occasionally -- admit it!
slave:
And don't get me started with "but Microsoft bundles this/that program with Windows! Microsoft doesn't support open standards!!" while at the same time praising Apple for bundling tons of programs with their OS including QuickTime which by the way is the *one* video format I cannot yet play on my Linux machine due to its closed nature.
Calum:
well you should be able to play all quicktime movies up to quicktime 4 and some quicktime 5 movies using mplayer + quicktime codecs.
as for MS Office, technically, i think it sucks ass compared with openoffice and staroffice (which is not free or open source but is still cheaper and better than ms office, plus if a person wants a word processor or a spreadsheet only, there are a lot faster and smaller programs out there to do exactly the same job as MS office at much less cost (to CPU ticks, and perhaps to your wallet).
