Microsoft are evil in the sense that they are breaking the law (antitrust, abuse of monopoly position, copyright infringement, etc.) and getting away unpunished because the US government dare not investigate too closely.
Case in point: You can't buy an OEM PC from any large vendor with a non-MS operating system that is cheaper than the same model with MS on it -even though e.g. Linux is free and Windows costs at least $50 to an OEM.
Also, the OOXML debacle - Microsoft clearly bribed and cheated in the voting (with e-mail proof) and the entire Norwegian ISO technical commitee resigned over it.
