It may explain it, but I'm not sure it justifies it!

Not surprised because..
1. CodeProject is MS-centric.
2. As far as coding goes the alternatives are generally no better, or worse.

If we were just talking about which is the best IDE company, then yes, I'd agree Microsoft, but the question was "which is your favorite technology company?" - that encompasses more than just the IDE division.

Even beyond this I'd say they are ok or certainly I haven't seen much that is unambiguously better. So if someone says MS are their favourite I wouldn't find it shocking.

Given the recent problems with Metro, Surface, Windows Phone, Windows 10 drivers, Windows 10 privacy, and Visual Studio 2015, I think it's difficult to find a company that has so many problems of their own making. Blackberry is probably the closest I can think of.
Thinking about technology companies such as Space X, Tesla, Lockheed-Martin and other such businesses, Microsoft seems like a dinosaur stuck in the 90's.
But hey-ho, you love what you know, I guess!

Blast from the past. Unlike Apple, Commodore's had better graphics, better sound, the first 80 column display that looked great on the built in CRT rather than having to hook up a cheezy monitor and convert the signal to channel 3, the tape deck actually worked (and no fussing with stupid volume controls on your own portable player) and the C64 had awesome graphics and sprite animations for the time. Their floppy disks had 2x to 4x the capacity of Apple's crappy drives, and a real IEEE interface was built into every PET.

I'd love to see Commodore make a comeback. I always wondered why AmigaOS was never really pushed forward to get it on a par with Linux. The current(?) AmigaOS seems like it needs some loving

AmigaOS has been a zombie for quite some time now, and I don't think it will make a comeback soon.
Why would anyone want a multitasking Windowed GUI that fits in 512k memory, when there's Windows 10 and OSX?

Yeah, it's been pretty much killed stone dead. It's a shame though as I liked AmigaOS v1.2/1.3 - I always thought it was way ahead of Windows at that time.

Sorry, but no they're not. It's just some half-arsed, over-sized, landfill Android phone with the "Commodore" name and a baked in emulator.

If your post doesn't appear immediately, please don't repost it.
Both were caught by the automated spam detector, and had to wait for a human to check before they could appear. And both had to be approved to avoid you getting a "spammer" kick.
I deleted the "spare".

Being confronted by their API every day, I wonder how they could be a favourite.

Well, their documentations are not the best in the world; however, being confronted by APIs for other engineering firms makes it my favorite.

If you are working with Revit, then that is a gross understatement.

It may be different for other Autodesk-products, but the Revit-API is ever-changing and causes a huge amount of class- and namespace-name clashes.

How can I answer this? It's so open, and how do I define favourite?
If we talk about my most enjoyed piece of technology I would probably go with my PS4, so that's Sony.
If I consider why favourite programming environment I will go with C# and .Net, which would be Microsoft.
If I search for which company is my favourite I would use Google.
If I recall some of my all-time favourite insults and jokes, that's at Apple fans... so I would choose Google again.
And what if I like my mobile phone, do I thanks Google for the OS or Samsung for putting their name on the hardware???
Thanks for making my Monday even more painful
