I don't think it's trust, it's market dominance.

    Because most office workers can't be bothered to deal with Linux.

    There’s a mentality that free means not good. If we pay for something then it must be good. We as consumers have been brainwashed into this mentality since birth. I quit using Windows 20 years ago. Don’t miss it. I get nausea every tome i have to touch windows now. Especially newer versions with that horrible interface.

  • You are straining the credo of this community. Gauging general trust in engineers based on where the most popular PC operating system comes from is simply too simplistic.

    Very few people use Microsoft products because they actually like them. They are just the market leader in desktop OSs and do their darnedest to keep people trapped in Office. Their market dominance is no reflection on trust.
