@koz Even before the shenanigans with Windows 8 and 10, I personally considered Microsoft to be criminally negligent as a market leader: they've cost uncountable numbers of people uncountable hours of their lives with crashes and lost work, tending/maintenance/reinstalls, and investment as developers in learning asinine development frameworks.  Money and scientific results have been miscalculated at even the largest banks and scientific institutions due to numerical calculations errors in their software (Excel) that were not addressed even after concerns were brought to their attention.  Idiotic security problems year after year after year have cost people their privacy, livelihood, and sometimes even their lives.  In short, this company has cost the world money and time on a scale that is unfathomable, and Mr. Gates dares call himself a Philanthropist?
