Shhhhh! It's Microsoft, we're not allowed to have a negative opinion of anything they do on hacker news.
It's strange to see FUD deployed against Microsoft for once!
Dont let facts stand in the way of Microsoft bashing.
Criticizing Microsoft also gives a lot of downvotes with it.
This is true, but microsoft has a particular history of malice few other companies can match.
Microsoft isn't as bad, it's much worse.
Microsoft is a bad actor. No sympathy for them at all
People were starting to forget why everyone hates Microsoft. Even on this site, I see a lot of comments about how Microsoft "isn't so bad" anymore. Hopefully this will lay that and similar naive comments to rest.
Microsoft likes to play dirty . It is in their genes
People discrediting what they don't understand. The anti-microsoft sentiment is getting old. Grow up.
