MS is not at fault, claiming so is childish.

You didn't have a problem with MS originally, but as soon as Win95 came out you instantly hated them? A few issues with an OS are hardly valid grounds for "hating" a company.
Also, I don't see how once you discovered Linux your hatred for MS grew. This also makes very little sense. If you were sitting there using MS products of your own accord, discovered a new system, and then migrated to the other system, that's hardly a reason to demand the head of Gates because you somehow feel you are being "forced" (of your own accord) to use their products.
Get real, look at all the moronic things that various linux distributions do. Is this a reason to hate linux and demand the head of Linus as compensation for your troubles?
This kind of attitude, and you wonder why MS attacks linux.
