Are you an idiot? MS is and was evil company. Remember DR-DOS? Stealing from Apple and IBM?
Stealing IP by 'collaboration' and then making own product based on stolen IP while the other 'collaborator' bankrupts? Blatant abuse of monopoly everywhere? Legal battle with DOJ which was dropped the second MS bought 'their man' as president? Special prices for OEMs if they refuse to sell other OSes or empty machines? A practise still in use, BTW.
Add bribing standard granting people to grant 'a standard' which is defined as 'do this like MS Office is doing this' and they deserve all hate they get, forever. Professional criminals, whole bunch.
List is endless (all these just from memory, there's more I'm sure) and here we have a brain dead person who believes knowing MS is evil is a result of 'brainwashing'.
No, the reverse is a result of that: Anyone who has any idea of what MS has been doing from the start, knows it's an evil company. No whitewash or propaganda can change that, ever: It's The Company Policy(TM).
There's a good reason why MS legal department is larger than their software department. And marketing is more than half of the whole company.
