If you dig deep enough into the internet you'll find people who have been complaining about Microsoft since the dos days, and many of their complaints and fears have come true.

Oh yeah, I remember the mems from back in the late 90s, I reacted harshly to the previous comment as they claimed that I was being gaslit.

I remember using Windows as far back as 3.11, I know my own feelings.

If you look further in the thread you'll also see that I admitted that I was probably reflecting my oppinion on XP and 7 onto Microsoft as a whole.

Spot the bootlicker 😉

There's nothing wrong with pointing out that a monopoly with a history of illegal anticompetitive behaviour isn't/wasn't cool.

They didn't congratulate themselves, and the only person who brought up Linux here is you.
