I don't like MS, but I have to live with it... *kicks stupid idiotic constantly messed up computer mentally off a cliff*
As for MS's apps, I think Internet Explorer stinks and is vastly inferior to Netscape, that Word is very hard to use and confusing and user-unintuitive and is vastly inferior to WordPerfect (finally I have a modern version, WordPerfect 10! Its great... but 6.1 is still solid and better than any version of Word. :)), and that I'd rather use TabWorks than the stupid Start Menu.
Oh yeah, and AIM is better than MSN Messenger. while MS has a decent game development group, its beaten by others in every category... Blizz and others in RTS, Totally Games in flight action/sim, Nintendo in platformers and stuff, many others in racing games, etc...
However, because of the fact that it runs so many more games and emulators than any other platform, its the best OS. I might wish I had WinXP instead of ME (though what I REALLY want is a dual-boot with '98 and XP so that I can still play those DOS games... I do play them sometimes and really appreciate how so many work flawlessly after I hear XP horror stories...), but still, I'll take ME over any non-MS OS.
As for Mac, I haven't used one since an early iMac, but nothing I've seen changes my opinion on them. :)
