Is it really irrational to distrust Microsoft? I mean, they seem to be much more palatable lately, but does that mean we should completely forget their history? I'm all for using the best technology for the job, but when you're in a close call situation I think it's okay to rely on an organizations history to make a decision.

Yes, when you don't apply the same logic to the other large tech companies.

Is there another large tech company with the history of wrongdoing that Microsoft has? They're a convicted monopolist that personally affected a large subset of the developer community with repercussions that took decades to solve (if they're solved at all).
