Readers are also complaining about the Microsoft (MSFT) looked at me. My company is a partner, and use a lot of their products. I've kvetched came when Windows 7 is out, and then again after 6 months: and I stopped accounting software Microsoft Office carped.
It's all sour grapes, though. That Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and other technology companies have been getting a lot of notice in the press, the better is the fact that, in spite of the small business landscape will be Microsoft without much bleaker. Justin Bieber's kind of like a world without it.
We all know that window freezes, crashes, reboots, the historical disadvantage: Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates ad him.

What would happen if the SQL Server? It's what I do know is that just about every major business applications Microsoft database to store data. It is a secure, reliable, fast and reliable. Of course, there are alternatives. But for example, Oracle (ORCL), small and medium enterprises, is too expensive for a database.
Familiar, useful and affordable products, apart from the thousands of resellers and Microsoft create proud service to help support and strengthen partner and its software. "Genius" Apple employees in stores may not boast the same but all technical support for users with Apple and Google products.
