I have not touched a Microsoft product or service for my personal life in 10 years. Last year I was fired, thus no longer being forced to use Teams.
Which means I haven't touched a Microsoft product, at all, in a year. Love it.
Interesting, I touch Microsoft products almost every day. I like their Pro Intellimouse, I use Teams and other office stuff at work, and I use VS Code at work for my job. I still have my Xbox 360 somewhere gathering dust.
I haven't used Windows outside fixing my SO's computer for ~15 years.
Most Microsoft products are fine. VS Code is a great code editor, their Intellimouse line is incredibly durable, Excel is still fantastic, and Xbox is pretty decent value for a console. Windows and Teams suck though.
Actually there's one part of Windows that doesn't suck – font rendering. Even with fonts copied straight out of C:\Windows\Fonts, no matter how many config files I edited, I couldn't recreate Microsoft's ClearType, no matter Mint (MATE), Kubuntu or Debian (LXDE).
