Granted, I've only been subscribed to this list for about a week, but I
don't recall seeing anything that I would consider "MS bashing" in it,
let alone in this thread.  If you want to see MS bashing, take a look at
some of the "advocacy" newsgroups in USENET.

As for using MS products... well, folks make choices.  My choice is "no
MS" -- a significant reason I left a previous employer (now defunct) is
that they decided to try to port their product to an MS environment, and
I decline to support such things.

I'd rather have things work first, and add (appropriate) features
carefully... so things continue to work.
