Two things come to mind for me:
one of the more recent issues I've had is the exercise in pain that is Teams for Linux when not using a corporate account
second is that they looooove to build proprietary products to compete with existing ones in attempts to build their own "standard" that only works on their systems, thus crushing competitors. See: (early) MSOffice, Internet Explorer+ActiveX, DirectX
Third: buying out products and removing compatibility. RAV antivirus was popular for Linux users as a fileshare/mail/etc scanner. MS bought it and shortly after killed Linux support
this is useful, thanks!
