Sickos!!!! (but i reserve the right to try it once in the name of science)
So I tried this "microwave method" today with paper towels to get it crispy, and it's great....
... If you want rubbery, bad tasting crap! I feel like my taste buds have been sexually assaulted. Is there a bacon in justice helpline for me?
Oven or grill. Always.

I have microwaved bacon in the past, only when I was being lazy.
Best way I have found is in a hot frying pan with no oil, or even better, on the BBQ in the summer.
Regardless of all of the above, the source of the bacon is key. English dry cured is unbeatable, especially when cut really thick.

cleaning a frying pan and the surrounding area compared to not needing to do anything to clean the microwave..... yes, i can see why you would chose to fry in this instance.
Cost/benefit analysis is required.
Cost = 1 minute of your time cleaning a frying pan and cooker if you don't have a mesh guard for your pan (why this is such a chore, I have no idea).
Benefit of not spending 1 minute cleaning a frying pan:
@ Longbow, the bacon-in-justice helpline has currently be stopped due to funding issues.
The bacon-molesters-anonymous emergency line is still active though so you can weep tears of microwaved fat to them whilst you re-live the traumatic series of events that you went through.
It will get better with time my friend and of course with plenty of properly cooked bacon, lots and lots of good old-fashioned bacon.
Do not hesitate to initiate proper cooking sequences, sooner rather than later!
Mmm bacon.

Favourite way is on a griddle pan, or the grill at work.
Usual way at home is in the oven if i'm having sausages.

I have been buying treacle cured bacon from Aldi, it is fantastic. I fry it and have in a sarny with ketchup or brown sauce. Sometimes i have it on a toasted sandwich with cheese. Today, just for a change, i bought some warburtons subs and had bacon and sausage with brown sauce. NOM NOM NOM
Bacon is the dogs bol....... oh hang on, i wont use that expression when talking about food.

Yeah it's called the "Not really meant to be here, took a wrong turning so just waiting in line to get to heaven" queue.
Fry.
Microwave isn't that bad.
Had a friend who would cook bacon in the oven at the start of the week, whack it in the fridge and then just microwave it each morning (and most afternoons/evenings) for his meal. Lived of bacon sandwiches like this due to speed and he was a student

Fry it or whack it in the oven.
Bacon + microwave = ... what??
That's worse than my flatmate who cooked an omelette in the microwave
