Who is most likely to own a Tesla in Serbia? Perhaps you should investigate that as the possible source for brand animosity. Some brands are looked down upon, or outright despised purely by association.

You do know that some software only runs on Windows?
Switching to another OS and starting to use similar software can easily become a pretty big conversion project.
Personally I don't hate Microsoft, I might disagree with some discissions they make but taking it all the way to actual hate....
Which makes me wonder how accurate that study even is, like, if I complained about something regarding Windows, did that study add my complaint to the hates?
I bet they did, which makes it rather useless statistic.

The only thing I can come up with is that Serbians don't like Tesla's name being used in this way. Maybe someone in the company says Nikola was Croatian or something like that haha.
Ideally yes, but that's not really how it works. That's why companies like Apple, Nintendo, and Facebook keep getting away with everything they keep doing. A lot of people are willing to turn a blind eye to the lack of control they get, particularly when the product is more expensive.
Yes, I've been wondering the accuracy as well, though for other reasons. If this is based on just total number of negative feedback then it's useless, because proportionately, there could be a much more hated company.

Wth is that?! There is not enough beer on this world... for me to get drunk enough and then get persuaded to listen to the music above 😀
Dunno, I've just "heard" there are few people here in Serbia who are driving some Teslas. Who they are: really don't have a clue, guess my kids knows better than me 😀 From trustabe sources I've heard our next street neighbour is aiming for one Tesla. Knowing how expencive collection of modern sports car he has atm it doesn't surprises me at all. I know him so-so from our chilhood days, hope he'll go big and buy Plaid model... and all of the sudden I'll be more than interested to spend more time with him and his family 😉

I think hate is not intended by those who voted, far too strong a word.
I dislike MS for ruining Windows.
Windows 7 is a great OS, Windows 10 is bad in many ways.

Who knows, but highly doubt that'll be the reason for people here in Serbia to hate Tesla/Elon Musk. Someone made up that study for Serbia region for sure. By that study Croats also hate Tesla company, I can (barely) understand that because they have Rimac, although great Rimac atm aren't nowhere near so huge as Tesla/Elon Musk. But there's the fact that here in Serbia we "hate" Tesla company some 10% more than Croats 🙄
Btw Nikola Tesla was indeed Serb, born and raised in region of today's Croatia, it's a well known fact. All of us living here we should be all proud that he was the one of us, until recently we were all part on one united country and we were doing just fine, but sh*t happens...

Tesla Inc. is not the first company to have that name. Tesla was czech state-owned corporation specializing in electronics. You can rest assured that stuff was sold all over continent. And both companies were in dispute over use of Tesla name.
Unfortunately, it's not going to change, you cannot go off facebook because you still have contacts there who are not willing to communicate via different service so you are stuck with it. And most people are going to stay on social media because it's superficial.
As for microsoft hate, it's probably much less hated today. Major failures like Windows ME, Vista and 8, frequent blue screens in Win9x installations and so on, kept the users on edge for quite some time, but there was nothing that ms screwed up recently.

People will always hate what they don't understand.
Now, this poll is both meaningless and eye opener.
Meaningless - you can hate all you want, but try to run the most sofisticated Autodesk setup linked to a high end CNC machine on other OS rather than Windows and you will hate more things even more. And the examples could go on. And don't bring Linux here, some software companies dislike Linux in so many ways.
Eye opener- with social media and nowadays internet, people can solve issues faster and easier than before. But each day people realise that SaaS is a long term trap and they star to shun companies who use their clients both as cash cows and guinea pigs. Adding to that data mining as status quo.
As a Linux user, I can not accept all of above, but as an IT staff persona, I just don't want to complicate my professional life trying to convert everybody to Linux. Want Windows, here you have it, enjoy your weekend, don't call me if you get a BSOD.
About EA...I can't comment on that, I just don't buy their games and didn't signed up for an account.
schmidtbag
Understood, though that doesn't really change my point.
Depends on how you look at things. I don't use Facebook and never have. Friends and family have pressured me to use it for years. The thing is, anyone who genuinely cares to keep in touch with you will still do so without Facebook. You'll quickly figure out who actually cares about you, and from there, reinforce those relationships.
I agree about the superficiality thing, and those are the kinds of people who aren't likely to hate on FB or Instagram.

Like em or loath em Ubisoft have there name of some of the best games around, as for Raves method of evaluation.....sounds suspect and about as reliable as a Steam survey

What about rakija?

EA clears out a nice billion per year from FIFA alone. It was rumoured that they were too large a purchase for the Microsoft gaming division, so they went for Zeninax.
If you just see the product as a stand alone desktop operating system, I would say that Windows is more stable than both a Linux-based experience and macOS.
That's from amidst a decade of using all there at this point. My favourite place to work is my Linux installation, gaming and reliability for GUI stuff is Windows, and macOS really fits the best portables out there, and is a nicely dressed and easy way to have access to open source projects.

True. Anyone can rant anything on twitter, doesnt mean theres any justified basis for it. MS is probably the company with the most ppl on the planet involved with it one way or another. Therefore its become fashionable to mock or ridicule it on social media. Simply because so many ppl can relate to it. Other major brands may incur negative sentiments on social media due to their over-familiarity as well.

Was EA on holiday this time?

Honestly this kind of music deserves only junk rakija. It would be nothing more then a sin to listen this kind of music and drink pure perfect rakija, that one my dad is known for making.
Right niw while I'm typing this dad expects anyday for his apples in barels to complete fermentation process and him and few of his friends since early morning till late evening to enjoy themselves baking/making rakija from apples. He has high hopes next year, if this Covid crap ends by then, it would be possible for him and mom to travel to Canada on vacation so he's trying to make as much different rakija flavours as he can till then so he can smuggle "some" of every flavour there for our family and friends in Canada. Knock on wood, hope health is gonna serve him well as long as he lives.

Doing survey via Tweet is obviously a flawed method, so I wouldn't take this seriously.

It seems that the "pollsters" forgot to add that company name to their random name generator function "select random(hated) from company_names". These polls are mostly bullshit.

@mackintosh
probably because they realized that Teslas arent as good as they claim to be.
the fact that 50% of porsches pre orders were tesla owners.
looks like apple to me, overhyping a product (autopilot), and as soon as other options arrive, ppl switch.
one reason why they will never have more than 50% market share, outside initial release/until other brands offer it.

Given the recent events, I'm surprised Ubisoft beat out Activision-Blizzard.....
