I agree... and sometimes resentment is justified.

Make a company that has no style and copies and steals, and reduces
productivity and harms the industry (in some cases) and crushes
competition not through superior products but through FUD, etc... and
some people take offense.

Do not get me wrong. MS does do an OK job of some products for a
while... (Ususally version3 of their products is when they are getting
the bugs out, and its not yet completely bloated... by 5 or 6 the
application is often unusably feature ridden).  And they are like most
large companies - they do GOOD and BAD. But overall MS is the pefect
example of bad american products that still result in profits.... and
the MS group-think herd mentality is revolting to people that have an
ounce of creativity and their features hack are insulting to users
with a pitance of style or understanding of UI/Graphics Arts/etc. 

MS may be starting to get more resentment than they diserve... just
maybe... but even if that was true, we are not yet close to making up
for all the damage they've done (and their bleating followers have
done) to this industry and our culture. What goes around, comes
around.... and MS may soon get what they have given so freely.
