  But they are getting money which would be better spent in improving
the products.

  Why do you think MS is so hated and eg. Apple isn't? Because Apple doesn't
use so many glaringly dubious attack tactics and get the hatred of every
living being on Earth.

  If Microsoft (and especially Steve Ballmer) stopped trolling around and
concentrated only on what they are good at, they could get a better
reputation. But no. I think that at least with Steve Ballmer it's some
kind of odd twisted imago reputation which he *wants* to maintain, for
some incomprehensible reason.
