Restricting all the bad news to a single thread limits the amount of potential attention and discussion a current 'bad' issue might recieve.
Some of our bad news threads are among the most interesting posted on this site.
As people have already mentioned, the Youtube thread and the Blu-ray thread are great examples; An awful lot of information posted, very little discussion.
The reason you're seeing 'outside users', who perhaps usually frequent other forums, posting the "bad Microsoft news" in the Microsoft forum is probably because Microsoft fans are, more then likely, less then willing to post the bad news themselves.
