Could seem odd if you want to go that way.
But it's not at all odd because it is CRITICAL that people know well
the antics of MS and the sanity that would permeate the computing
scene with MS gone -- replaced with Linux.
MS did some good in the beginning but never corrected their corrupted
base of code, and never became ethical.
Since they are a bit huge (for now) the extra effort to shine light
into their dark corners is very much required. In fact the noisier the
better, without going whacko.
