If you didn't read the comments, they're kind of the highlight of this submission.

Most of the commenters appear to be very unhappy employees. And some of them are obvious trolls who have never worked at MS but pretend to.
A comment from that article that proves your points.
Most enlightening comment to me:
"I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the EU mess yet. Sinofski was given responsibility by the board for ensuring that MS stayed compliant with the agreement regarding browser choice in Windows. Now, MS is facing a possible 10 BILLION dollar enema by the EU because Sinofski couldn't be bothered by something as trivial as a check box in Windows."
