While I agree that the shit-pile Microsoft faces is of their own making, I do think that it is bias, and a really clear bias.
I'm an android/linux user, and it is quite clear that a lot of the IT community who don't use Microsoft products have a fair amount of contempt for the Microsoft OS, and their products.
The products really should be judged on their merits and innovations rather than the history/marketing of the company. In that respect, for once, Microsoft seems to have done a good job, with a new interface which genuinely seems to be trying to do something new.
It is unfair to immediately dismiss anything, without seeing how it pans out, which I saw a hell of a lot of both when Nokia sided with Microsoft and when Microsoft acquired Skype. The bias is clearly there, and it is not justified.
