Microsoft
Questions & Answers
I bought a pc just before uni, bachelors D in Graphic Design, that was 7 years ago I sold it half way thru my first year i understand that alot of people use pc/microsoft and therefore it obviously is a capable piece of tech, i just don't see it. If i had never used one I wouldn't be able to say apple is better, but i'd been using a pc for years it was all i knew and when i discovered mac I right there and then said to myself why on earth would anyone use anything else i had to relearn how to use a computer i'm able to use both but i wouldn't touch a pc if you payed me to haha that depends. Thats just me. I have a friend who has the most powerful pc i've ever used it's unbelievably fast and virus free the internet experience it offers is quite pleasant, but he spent a fortune getting to that level. Why? And while on the subject, internet explorer is the worst of the worst i realise most probably use firefox or other, but seriously IE has to go. Bug infested virally toxic most impotent piece of shit i've ever used.

Well my first impression is I'm surprised you say you have a college degree. You didn't mention if it's a BA, or BFA, but either degree requires the ability to spell and use grammar correctly. This isn't a school room, but for a college grad to post their thoughts on a public forum that is at a high school level is (if you are a college grad), a sad commentary on our educational system.
As for Microsoft being garbage, I do agree. It started out great and Gates encouraged employees to think outside the box, try EVERYTHING and give the product's organization feedback, which made the company number 1 with office software. But, starting with Steve telling employees it's a "terminable" offense to have a Rim phone, makes no sense. But that's the philosophy now, under no circumstances Challenge our products. Don't give us feedback on our app's, just tell us they are better than anyone else's! I remember when MSN pushed Microsoft employees to go to their internal site that has MSN on one side of the UI and Google.com on the other side. The purpose was to CHALLENGE MSN. Try both together then forward your thoughts. The intent was 1. Let Microsoft know where MSN lacks so that 2. They could make it GREAT. Unfortunately, many versions later MSN didn't figure out how to make an awesome search engine and Google is still the King, but that's how Microsoft became great, Challenging their products. Now they're really losing credibility and the public is pivoting to Apple and Open Source.

Right there with you. Microsoft tried every way it can to make you use their products and they suck.

Trend Micro is what I have installed on my PC, good to hear you liked it so maybe I will renew it later this year. I don't understand why we can't do the long URL reviews either.
