The email is not very professional. Rejection of Windows is fine, but that if that’s the kind of language the candidate uses at work, the company actually dodged a bullet.

Fuck capitalist professionalism.

I don’t see an issue with it. There are maybe a few things I would say differently, but every IT job I’ve worked has had poorer language in the documentation, even sometimes the ones we distribute to customers.

Fuck off. He has principals and stuck to them, good for him. You are arguing he should be more polite to some corporation that he owes nothing to. Fuck corporations, they do not deserve our time and labor 99% of the time.

What part of it is unprofessional? You specifically called out the language OP used - that seems totally professional to me. The overall message sounds like throwing a tantrum to my ears but that’s not what you called out. How do you think it should be worded?
