I'm not a left-winger, but while I don't usually use that expression, I do agree somewhat with the thoughts behind it (a greedy, monopoly-loving, capitalist company). Perhaps if so many Microsoft products didn't crash on me so much I'd have a different perspective.

Do you take people who call MicroSoft "M$" seriously?

Of course it's OK to call them M$, much quicker to type and laziness rules.
Their name starts with M and they have a lot of money, what's derogatory about it? But mainly I'm in favour 'cause it speeds up posting.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Re: Do you take people who call MicroSoft "M$" seriously?
It's not like I suddenly start ignoring people who use cute nicknames for other posters (Mr Not-So-Fun, or loincrap, or King Clitoris, or whatever), I only really start to ignore them when that's their one trick and they're sticking to it ("lol, u r loincrap, roflmao"). The same applies to M$ ("lol, M$ r gay, roflmao").<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures</p>

See? That's what I mean. Look, the product's name is Windows, stop being a person with a sense of humour. This is apolyton! Take your jokes elsewhere.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Since I give them more of my $ than most people here (MSDN Universal, plus SQL Server 2000 licenses, blah blah blah), I don't see why it makes much difference if I refer to them as MS or M$.
In fact, familiarity with the CAL and volume licensing system(s), tends to make me more commercially antagonistic to M$, even though I use a huge number of their products and sell those installations to others. It's like good ol' used car sales hucksterism. I can just hear ol' Cal Worthington with his dog Spot (or is that Steve?) saying "justTWOhunderdninedyninedollersaclientlicenseandwe lleventhrowinsoftwareassurance."
