It's just the nature of competition -- historically, when companies get too large, they are attacked by the justice system (The Bells -> Pacbell, Southern Bell, etc).
it's true that M$ has released several horribly buggy products under their name, and pisses us off royally. But, you'll never find me going pure linux just of that. use the products that work, and ignore the ones that suck. They control the market share... well done by M$.
If you hate 'em, shut up about it, dont buy Xboxes, dont run windows. But, if you buy their stuff, they must at least be OK. Can you think of any other companies you buy things from even though you hate them? Doesn't make sense... Also, if you pirate all your MS stuff, then there is NO reason to complain
Annnnnd... my 2 cents
