I used to stick up for Microsoft. I like most of their products. I don't really think their products are HORRIBLY overpriced when you consider how many resources are put into making a product that will work with an infinite combination of hardware components.
People always say that Microsoft is just a monopoly who is out to kill the little guys. Maybe (a little bit anyway), but not entirely. Microsoft started out as one of the little guys. They just knew how to market themselves. Yes, there were some dirty tricks. People seem to ignore the fact that almost EVERY company uses "dirty tricks" at some point in their existence. Microsoft just seemed to do the right tricks to get them to the top, fast.
Their support has been top-notch in most cases (let's hope it stays that way). They've made a lot of investors lots of money. They continue to produce some of the best software (even with the glitches everyone runs into).
