Story: Microsoft: Open source 'not reliable or dependable'

• 
• 

I switched to OSS a couple of years ago, and apart from the odd project where a client specifically requires me to work under Windows, I rarely use Windows because I find the OSS equivalents to be more reliable and stable.

I use OSS not because I am an idealist or I am anti-Microsoft. I don't like some of the things they do, but this isn't an idealogical crusade against MS.

I use OSS because it is more flexible, feature rich and does what I need it to do. I find going back to the inflexibilities of Windows to be very frustrating when I have to work on it.
