Hate is perhaps a strong word, but I'd say being acutely aware of whom you're dealing with is still in order. Microsoft never ceased to be hostile. I can point to 3 specific things in recent memory to illustrate that: - 2008: Corrupting a standardization process - 2010, ongoing: extracting royalties from people who don't use their technology (Android royalties) - 2012: Throwing a monkey wrench at Linux install fests (by more or less goading laptop manufacturers into this SecureBoot thing). Here's hoping that Nadella is a more level-headed guy than Ballmer was, and this trend stops.
