I'm sorry to here but your opinion and other peoples opinion to a topic matters so don't let that bother you too much. Everyone has something to say whether its bad or good and some people just don't know how to make the right approaches.

I haven't even looked into the comments, your articles were already clear enough and much of a statement to make me start thinking what microsoft has going for them regarding windows, and besides its large velocity in user base, its mostly some key software vendors that keep supporting it as its sole target OS.
