-Apple's software is usually proprietary, so they're out of the question -Google spies on their users too make and uses it for third party marketing. They also sell out to the government and don't even bother fighting for consumer privacy(Even comcast spent money and went to court to try and defend the anonymity of a customer, and look how corrupt they are). For this reason, I'll be sticking with Comcast even if Google fiber comes to my area(though I will try to negotiate a better rate by threatening to switch to Google, they won't catch my bluff) -Microsoft isn't perfect either. The whole anti-trust issue with netscape was a serious ethics issue, but that's in the past and Microsoft has been a lot better recently. |

With that said, just because you can opt out of their services doesn't make them in the right. There's plenty of companies that **** their customers that get a lot of hate, even if their products/services aren't a monopoly/a need. |

I am horrified that Microsoft is winning this poll. Microsoft is a terrible company with wide reaching horrors. 1. Gaming -- Any number of game development studios have been ruined by Microsoft buyouts. RareWare, Age of Empires company, and now Mojang. 2. Have you used any Microsoft products in the last ten years? Office might be okay still but Windows? Skype? These are not good and in fact quite bad. 3. They just want to be Apple. They're trying to copy Apple's tablets and OS (especially with Windows 10--it's basically named after OS X). This in my mind proves that Apple is better. When was the last time Apple copied an idea from Microsoft? 4. Speaking of Apple, Microsoft is seriously lacking in the "suite" department. Whereas OS X gives you all sorts of nice programs like iPhoto and Messages, Microsoft does none of this in any productive way and even gives you eye pains while you do it since Windows has gotten so ugly. They just try to make Windows look generically "modern" but I'd say Apple has already progressed past that. 5. Microsoft doesn't even make their own computers. So they just give crappy software that people are forced to use because it's the industry norm for software companies and game companies... Why? I run Windows 7 and 10 but that doesn't mean I am happy about it. Nope

PS: I'm hoping to learn Linux, pretty sure it's the best OS, open source ftw. |

The Microsoft Surface tablet is no where near comparable to Apple's tablets, have you ever even used one MattKan? Apple tablets are so limited in what they can do whereas the Surface tablet is like any other computer and works like any other computer. It's so much better. Also, Skype isn't even bad it works perfectly fine |

Just make sure to get the pro edition, the RT edition isn't nearly as good and I sadly know this because I spent $500 and bought the RT by accident and they refused to refund (my first and only issue with Microsoft) still good to watch Netflix on though.
