You’ve probably noticed a few posts about Microsoft on this site. Most of them are rants. And, indeed, there are those who’ve noticed me picking on Microsoft on Experience Matters as well. (Certainly, Neil’s noticed it and taken me to task on that.)

In short, Microsoft doesn’t suck. But it could be a whole lot better.
