This is a true thing but one must have a humanitarian side. I chose to express my capitalistic side personally.

So anyway, can everyone please list why they feel they shouldn't be using MS products? Are there valid reasons which do not apply to other companies?
Most people look at it backwards.
I think you should be asking what can MS/windows do that other products/companies can't.
Lets say you needed a toaster and you were looking at two different options, one was free and the other one cost $50. Wouldn't you ask yourself if the one that cost you some of your hard earned money was worth paying for? Or would you feel compelled to pay for that one unless someone else could talk you into the free one? Personally I would look at what the free one had to offer and then make sure that the other one could load the toast into itself without my assistance before I forked over $50.
So this brings up a question. What can you do on your windows box that I can't do on my linux box?

As a user, I think I'll probably always use Microsoft software. As a programmer, I think I'd have little trouble moving to a non-M$ environment in C++.
This question seems a little odd to me.

This reminds me of some marketing research stats we got fed at Symantec. Some firm asked people two quesions regarding satisfaction: 1) Do you think you will use Company ABC's software in the future? and 2) Would you recommend Company ABC's software to your friends? Microsoft always scored 100% on #1, because can you really say you'll never use anything from MS again?
And yes I know us computer geeks can go w/o MS if we want. This was research done with lots of users from the general [non-geek] public.
