I don't get it either (for a slightly different reason than Anthony). There are many many reasons to hate Microsoft (for holding back technological advance in the software industry through predatory competitive practices), exploitation of workers is not one of them. MS, I believe pays employees fairly generously including stock based compensation, and in fact sets the bar for the rest of the industry. The number of millionaires Microsoft has created over the years is something of a tech industry legend. How much more worker friendly can a corporation get? While it does not appear to be as progressive a corporation as Google appears to be, this is a misguided reason to attack Microsoft (if that is what it was). --raghu.
