Fifteen years ago, I got a cheap computer running Windows 8. The hardware wasn't great, so I installed Xubuntu. I mostly used that PC for paying bills and sending personal emails, while I had a Windows 7 PC for work. I never had any problems at home or at the office; everything worked fine.

I've been working at a large company for almost 3 years now. I have a high-end computer, but they force me to use only Microslop products. The performance is terrible and the fan makes a whistling sound. I find a new bug every week; for instance, the program used to freeze whenever I copied characters into an email on Outlook. This makes me doubt the security of their software too. This morning I woke up to reply to an email, and when I click new message, nothing happens. As you can imagine, I'm on Reddit complaining about Microslop. I don't know what's going on at Microslop, but all their products are getting worse, and I mean every single one. From the Windows Server that takes 45 minutes to restart, to SSRS and SSIS doing whatever they want. Meanwhile, I gave my old PC to my brother and, even though the hardware is old and sucks and the keyboard doesn't even work anymore, it runs better than this crap on my desk. I'm not saying everyone has to switch to Linux; I have a Mac myself, but it's time for people to leave Microslop products behind.
