1) Are your negative feelings/comments about Microsoft/Windows, in comparison to some other product that is currently available in the market?
2) If you don't want them to succeed, 3) don't buy their products and most certainly don't invest in the company.
1) No. Other companies behave poorly and unethically, and produce shoddy products. I wouldn't give them a break. Credit where credit is due.
2) It's not whether they succeed, or fail. That is not really my point. Certainly you want anyone producing a quality product, and someone who is moral and ethical, to do well. Or, at the very least, you should not hold personal ill-will toward them.
As I mentioned, the individual user is not MS's primary customer. The individual user is probably last on the rank-ordered 'customer' list for the company's attention... if the end-user even registers with them, at all. With their essential monopoly on the corporate/government desktop, any individual user's view, for better or worse, is pretty meaningless.
For my part, I'd be happy if they just wouldn't make things worse than what came before, whenever they release something new. Really, how hard can that be? I'm not even asking or expecting them to improve their product. Just don't make it worse. The fact that they can't (or won't, or perhaps do it deliberately--your guess is as good as mine) should be a personal embarrassment to upper MS management. That it evidently isn't, tells you what you need to know about their 'leadership' and their priorities.
3) For the at home user, it is certainly possible to remove oneself from the MS ecosystem, with pretty good (if not excellent) results. One just has to be judicious about one's hardware, and of course their choice of software.
For business, it can also be done, but is not quite as easy a transition. Ernie Ball (a company that actually makes high quality products, BTW), did it, after MS and the Business Software Alliance got the FBI to raid Ball's operation. In their typical "never let an opportunity pass, even if you have to create the opportunity yourself", MS used the raid to advertise a warning to their other business 'partners', and actually demonstrated their 'good-will', by offering 20% discounts on their compliance software! That, by the way, got Steve got so excited that he just had to sweat out the 'monkey dance' at the annual MS developer's conference. Partners were duly impressed...
Of course we're talking the desktop. On the other side of the Ethernet connection, MS has important competition, and has to behave better, because of that.
