Microsoft, a collective group of people trying to do the right thing, has made many choices over their time. Many of those choices have been in direct violation of things like, but not limited to, the spirit of the Internet, anti-competiton, spying on their customers, and many other negative things. Should we have let those things slide because Microsoft employs others that weren't involved? No. You can say this may have been a mistake but that is a slippery slope. Microsoft deserves negative press on "mistakes" because this acts as a balance to keep the power they wield in check. Beyond that you have a significant bias against biting the hand that feeds.
