Last I looked, MS volume licensing terms were just as bad as in the early 2000's ; If you want the 50% discount, you have to agree to an external audit of any MS software. The licensing is even more complex than it was. I have no statistics about them being "easier to deal with", so I'll take your word for it; But they still hold the same power once you sign, and can use it at their discretion. No company is trustworthy, but some are much less than others - a few at the "trustworthy to be evil" level.
