I would not say 'hate', just find it completely unsuitable or helpful 
for me to let me do what I need to do.  If Windows floats yer boat than 
that's good, just does not float mine.

The one gripe I do have about Microsoft is their tendency to break 
standards for the sole purpose of tightening their gripe on the 
industry; with no actual benefit for consumers or the poor sysadmins 
that have to deal with their cruft.  However that's why we have 
anti-trust cases and multi-billion ${UNIT-CURRENCY} fines :)
