They often had to defend themselves in courts around the world against accusations of mobbing etc. by gay employees. This is one of the last ones I've seen, Jamie Durrant: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/microsoft/5042225/Xbox-designer-accuses-Microsoft-of-homophobia.html There are many more. Most of them settled out of court. Just a reminder that Microsoft in a giant marketing machine, nothing more.

The company has the highest-ranking transgendered executive of ANY Fortune 500 company, Megan Wallent. She's also very well-respected in the tech community.

Open Office, anyone? Actually paying for that overpriced software is shockingly stupid when you can get almost the exact same thing online for free. Downloading Open Office instead of buying Microsoft Office will save you enough dough to practically buy another laptop or netbook ;) “no escaping its Office suite of software”
