>Search your own messages, and see how many of them praise Microsoft products and/or talks badly about their competitors. Come on, you have been criticized for your pro Microsoft messages here for years. Don't start an argument about this subject now, it's far too late. I don't know if you're on their payroll, if you lick their back in order to remain a member of their MVP program, or if you just happen to like their products, and I couldn't care less. Quite a few of us wonder why you write as if you are on their payroll, and you have been asked about your motives many times.

I don't think it is fair to attack Craig, as you did. He likes MS products and it is his right and he can praise them all he wants. He has been very honest about his opinion. And although I often complain about MS desktop products (Windows 8 and 10), without SQL Server and VS I would be in big trouble.
