Garfinkel asked: "Why is it so fashionable to hate Microsoft?" The answer he gave: "after spending most of last Saturday afternoon reformatting my computer's hard drive, reinstalling my copy of Windows NT 4.0 (service pack 3), and reinstalling a dozen or so applications that I use on a daily basis - and then doing it all again - I'm increasingly convinced the hatred stems from the poordesign of Microsoft's operating systems." He says he has to do this too frequently and knows this would not be necessary with a Mac.
