For me Naomi Klein's No Logo http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0006530400/qid%3D1034588688/202-4792728-7548655 sums up many of my causes for concern about MS (and other big corporates) but David is right, sometimes they produce good products and, as professionals(?), we should always use the best (in our own judgement) tools for the job in hand and trying to put our personal prejudices aside.

I've seen far too many instances of projects where IT people who love MS just go straight for the MS solution - because its MS and everything else they have is MS, and MS took them for a great round of golf+beers last time....
