“Haters don’t envy anything. They just make a conscious (and subconscious) choice to hate everything related to Microsoft at every possible opportunity they can do so without being blatantly obvious (like hating stuff that is obviously good/quality). Anything who’s potential benefit can be up to the interpretation of the people (imperfect products like Kinect, for example) immediately becomes a “glass half empty” proposition to become vocal about because some of us simply want MS to fail and suspect products give us the opportunity to be fanboys without fully coming “out of the closet”. For some of us, it’s simply our posture towards MS. Basic fanboyism, shrouded in “honest critique”.
Not going to point who said just, but there are exactly spot on. And this pretty much explains modern technology journalism.

Ever since I first got my Windows PC back in the 90s, I’ve been a fan Microsoft. There have been times where it seems like things have hopeless for Microsoft, but other times, I feel damn proud or just plain happy. I can’t explain it. Maybe its brand loyalty. Maybe it’s because other things in my life are either boring or just too painful to think about. I’ve been such a fan of this company that it’s too difficult to convert and get used to another. I’ve tried before, and it didn’t last, obviously. I’m too sucked into this world of Microsoft living that it’s too difficult to get out of it and get used to something else.
I’m not the kind of immature fan who blindly and religiously follows a company or defends it at all costs. No, I’m not that kind of fan. I’m a fan who can realize when my company is failing and where they need to improve. The great thing about companies, especially one like Microsoft, is that there’s always room for improvement, there’s always a chance to do better. And that’s how I keep going with this.
