Something that really grinds my gears about some edges of the Tech Scene: People who rag on Windows but who use MacOS.

Every OS has warts, sharp edges, etc, but please for the love of god get your head out of the early 2000s.

I hate screaming this over and over but: You do remember that the **entire** DOJ lawsuit was not actually over monopoly, it was over a worry over shared code in Windows. 

Ask anyone who works on Windows for long enough to understand its edges and you come to understand that the sharpest edges of Windows were accelerated by the choices the DoJ made. 

If you’ve ever wondered why there isn't a good PDF reader on Windows until you install one? Thank the DOJ. The weird tight integration in some things isn't a fully management or engineering choice, it's the result of having to a) ship a browser according to their DOD/USGov requirements and b) The leftovers of the DOJ lawsuit.
