From a piece in Wired (emphasis added):
Of course, no company in the Mac universe is as reviled as Microsoft. The company is hated for its apparent desire to brutishly dominate every business it touches. Where Apple is seen by Mac enthusiasts as creative and individualistic, Microsoft is corporate and conformist; Apple is elegant and easy to use, while Microsoft is ugly and buggy.
This may not be 100% true. Certainly more Mac users hate Microsoft than any other company, but if you could bottle up hatred for a company, I would bet that antipathy towards Quark would turn out to be a much purer intense hatred than what Microsoft engenders. Quark may have screwed fewer people, but man do they do it with gusto.
