Steve Jobs used to say the problem with Microsoft is they don’t have taste.

The font-shimmering effect on scroll immediately reminded me of that, it is really distracting. And you can’t use reader mode to disable it.

(FWIW, I’m a fan of Bill Gates and all he’s done for the world)

I do tend to agree with your sentiment — his business practices have not been ethically stellar. Despite, if you wish to bring forward criticism and be taken seriously, you’d do well to first familiarize yourself with the basic difference between copyright and patents.
