No, I don't.

I like a lot of the stuff they have put out there and even though I cannot stand Windows 8 and I'm worried about some of the decisions made recently I still think they generally speaking an awesome tech company.

edit 1:

Also, why you no include poll via native forum poll feature? Grrr...

(sidenote: very maturely started discussion on that page)

edit 2:

Hmmm... you can't vote on that page... You've given us the results page and there's no way to "go back" (the link won't work, because our browsers haven't been on the previous page)

edit 3:

(lol)

This should work: http://poll.pollcode.com/tnfclv

I don't hate MS -- I look up to them in a hopeful way.

I'd like them to stay ethical and honest.

I am baffled by the programmers and software designers.

I am baffled by the seemingly endless buggy RTM versions.

I am baffled when they put out a backward product like Windows 8.

Microsoft should ask the end users what they want and like.

MS should make operating systems that are as customizable as possible -- not force changes that many people don't want.

Different isn't always better.

Agree. It is silly to hate companies... But I think it's ok to hate people... Like CEOs. :D

You've not been around much, have you?

This is exactly the reaction retarded articled like the poll on the front page produce. Congrats Neowin for nurturing fanboy mentality, keeping the quality as low as possible, and driving long time community members away. This place has truly turned awful.

Why couldn't you just attach a poll to the thread? And no, I don't hate Microsoft but the direction they're taking concerns me at the moment. I don't like product bastardisation and I don't like the fact that they seem more interested in catering to app junkies than the traditional users of their products.

If you hate Microsoft, maybe you should consider another tech site than NeoWIN. just an idea :)

Also why use an off site poll and not the built in one of the forum. other than to make sure noone votes, except those who are the biggest trolls and will go to any length to show their displeasure.

But that wouldn't matter, if they delete his post, noone will ever see and know his poll exists anyway.

When I came to this thread it was pretty new and already had over 10 votes, so I take it that poll originated from some other forum that probably leans towards Microsoft hate or immature punks, as the poll started off with more votes in favor of Microsoft hate.

Meh...

Reporting this thread now, it's just as immaturely worded as the front page news item and just a counterattack against it.

Hence, not very helpful at all.

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half

      Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

      Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
