Ummm, it's not hate. It's reality. The topic asked a very simple question and I answered it. In my world, there ARE alternatives to M$ products and a majority of my computing life since the late 70's, I have purposely avoided the use of them. I've used 3.1 through Win2000 and XP a little bit. No need to get into all the reasons why I don't care for 'em as I will never be "converted". Fact is, just because something exists and it's popular, doesn't mean *I* need or would want to roam with the herd all the time  ;)

Not sure of your point, but a top 10 OS list with no Microsoft contribution present is silly.

None? I believe I listed MS-DOS  ;)  

Oh and Microsoft's Basic for Amiga is pretty good too, but it's not an OS, so I didn't list it.

And yes, I like my computing experience to be warm and fuzzy... why the heck not?!  lol

@Desiv - LOL!

Kickstart 1.2 (buggiest thing I've ever seen Guru'ed me to give up and stuck to play games)

WOW!   You must not have lived through Kickstart 1.0 and Kickstart 1.1!   I remember beta testing Kickstart 1.2 and thinking how great it was compared to 1.0 and 1.1.  To be honest, I thought it was the first truly stable version of the OS.


Indeed and so did many others. Stable enough to be the first Kickstart to go to ROM  ;)

I lived on 1.2 for quite a few years actually with no problems whatsoever. Couldn't afford a hard drive anyway in those days, so I didn't care that it didn't "autoboot".
