There are people who don't like capitalism, and people who don't like PCs. But there's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To me, Microsoft is about empowerment... we are the original democratizing force, putting a PC in every home and every desk.
In the Mac vs. PC ads, Apple bills itself as the antidote to Microsoft. To love Apple wasn't to sell out. It was to buy in. Most people use PCs, but Apple has the mindshare.
Microsoft has a monopoly over the desktop operating systems.
In my humble opinion, the PC as we have known it is in a continuous decline and being relegated to a utility device for businesses.
Microsoft is not about greed. It's about innovation and fairness.
Microsoft represents the best of ourselves or the worst.
Before the Internet, all most people cared about was Office. And Office was really the only reason anyone wanted Windows machines instead of Macs.
There's nothing more frustrating than seeing cynics sit there and say, 'Well, nobody can make any more money because Microsoft and Intel own everything.' Is the software industry mature, or is it embryonic? I would say it's embryonic. There will be a hundred more Microsofts, not just one.
I know there's a farmer out there somewhere who never wants a PC and that's fine with me.
Productivity is grounded in the PC. Where does the computing power come from? How would you run 'USA Today' without PCs? Run a hospital without PCs? People don't want products, they want solutions.
