I am a regular on HN and have a different impression, in that many people are much more critical towards MS while Apple/Google are generally the good guys. Apple is the savior of privacy while Google are the engineering wunderkinder. Even in the Xbox vs PS4 discussions MS is usually the bad privacy invading company in bed with NSA while Sony is the gamers best friend. To me it seems MS can do whatever they want, change as much as they want, they will never be "cool" while at the same time people gloss over Apples anti-competetive practices or Googles data collection obsession.
