About 5 years ago, when Mac OS X 10.4 was the latest, I started considering switching from Windows (Vista at the time) to Mac. But all my friends and colleagues were telling me about how awful Macs were.
They were remembering the Macs from the 90s, and that image stuck with them long after those Macs died. They had no idea what innovation and improvements Apple had done with Mac OS X and the iMac. They were just blindly biased and either okay with it or unaware of it.
I wonder if that's the same thing happening today with Windows 8. I bet people here are so biased against it because previous versions of Windows or previous Microsoft products or practices left a bad taste.
To be fair, I don't know any modern news about Microsoft. So maybe they still are shady business people. But I don't expect to be able to find any unbiased sources who can confirm or deny this credibly.
