I'm not defending Microsoft here but, the problem in this case isn't Microsoft, there's no reason a person can't educate themselves enough to move away from Windows. If you have access to a PC, you more than likely have access to the internet and there's no shortage of information online.
Yes what Microsoft is doing is negligent. But the consumer can't be completely blameless.
I don't know how men being trash is relevant here. It not hard to learn I don't understand what everyones problem is. If I know a product is bad and I keep using It, that's my fault.
