Thats silly.  I do not hate Microsoft, I do not hate the USA.
I disagree with both of the above with respect to the
decisions they make.  If you relate anyones dislike for poor
choices as hatred, then you obviously have some problems you
should take care of.

The USA has screwed the worlds food production with hundreds
of billions of dollars in subsidies thrown at the food
production industry.  This has huge repercussions in the
world's food supplies.  The USA has screwed Western Canadas
softwood lumber industry with unfair taxes and duties.  All
the while the USA is saying they want freetrade and to play
fair, while they stab any competition in the back.  Can you
dispute this?  I do not hate the USA or Americans, or even
you....  Even if sometimes people seem to act as if education
was not important (perhaps like George W Bush they hope a C
average is ok to become president).  But to label any dissent
as hatered goes beyond the pale....  I guess if you disagree
with the US government they will label you as a terrorist, and
if you disagree with Microsoft, the same?
