Sounds like you have a superiority complex to me. All Hail the great fireman15.
You would not feel that way if we met in person. I feel freer to share my life experiences here in this mostly anonymous setting and tend to send off whatever comes to my mind. You likely don't come across as an entitled whiny baby in person either. Microsoft is a faceless behemoth that has been the leader for many decades in the OS segment of the computer market. I am not sure of the mechanism, but some other entity will eventually replace them. Some form of Linux? Quite possibly. But Microsoft does not owe you a thing and the stability their dominance has provided has been mostly a good thing.
Superiority complex... it is sometime hard not to come across that way when conversing with someone who seems to have a very narrow focus. You have made some good points in this thread, and you obviously are a thoughtful person with past experience. I suspect that your expertise lies somewhere other than with the finer points of operating systems.
