You&#x27;re making an awful lot of assumptions here.<p>I don&#x27;t hate Microsoft today, and only did during the period they posed an existential threat to Linux&#x2F;FOSS (and it was a relatively gentle sort of hate, made particularly easy by Vista).<p>I don&#x27;t run Apple hardware, never have in my life.  In part because I count them as worse to users (well, prior to own goals like Vista and Windows 8), but also because as of late they&#x27;ve been behaving particularly bad.  Made that decision in 1987, who knew, avoiding particularly closed ecosystems turned out to be a good idea all around in the long term.<p>I don&#x27;t &quot;speak ill of banking corporations&quot; because I don&#x27;t see, well, any that I can think of offhand in the US, being actively, aggressively evil.  Stupid in many cases, for sure, but that&#x27;s a different thing, and not axiomatically akin to Microsoft&#x27;s crimes.
