@Dan-Howard said in Please create a I Hate Microsoft Club too:
They deserve as much hate as Oracle.
Unpossible.
Unless Microsoft starts storing empty strings as NULL in MSSQL or C#, they are not even close.
Creating those extra clubs would only result in the Oracle guys posting about Oracle to show you why those products/companies are not as bad as Oracle. So it might as well go in the Oracle Hate club area.
Let's make that thread!
Rules: Post a small gripe about a non-Oracle company, or a retort about why Oracle is worse. If the latter, preferably start with "Hold my beer".

OK, I'll start: Google makes it impossible for its paying customers to change the home country their account is associated with.
I haven't been able to install local, region-locked apps for 2 years now, despite obviously living in Germany; and I still have to pay my Google Music subscription in dollars.

@asdf Hold my beer. Oracle demands that its paying customers stop trying to find bugs or security vulnerabilities that might impact their business.
Apparently once they sobered up, they decided that wasn't the best strategy though.
Their original statement was archived though - https://archive.is/oJMWO

@darkmatter Wowww, nice job vetting that, Oracle. I'm pretty sure most companies have similar concerns about their IP and are frustrated by the volume of false positives coming from and publicized by scumbag researchers-- but they're still appreciative when someone actually hits pay dirt, regardless of the means.

I frequently have to fix errors that are impossible and can never happen under any circumstances.

Yet they come up 9 times out of 10 when real users turn up?
