Hmmm ....
Microsoft is dead??? I don't think so, even they make a good attempt to p*** off users with the bloated, slow and extremely buggy software called Vista. My wife has vista and im annoyed every time she opens it up. I can survive with her laptop if we dual boot to xp instead or just use it to watch a dvd
MS keyboards and mice - generally good, but i use Logitech
Media Player - tolerable, but use VLC or MPlayer if you are serious about videos
WindowsXP - my favorite OS despite all the security issues - it's not hard to get protected
MS Office - quite good in fact - wish it would support open standards better though
IE - deadly buggy and eats your RAM for lunch - makes beautiful rendered pages though - probably works best in quirks mode
Notepad - a joke of an application - it is a ONE day job to code a better editor in Delphi or similar!!
.NET - i never tried, dont want to - i guess i will stick to PHP unless forced otherwise
SQL Server - pretty damn good - very easy to use and powerful administration console - MySQL (and SQLyog) does a good job too and works perfectly with PHP
