If MS is treating developers that poor, they'll lose support. The end.

Developers don't want to lose more than 40% of the income.

The reason they complain is often money related. It should also be noted only a handful of developers complain and attempt to speak for all developers.

I don't believe MS treats developers as poorly as some lead us to believe. There are developers that say working for MS was great for them, but oddly enough that goes ignored.

Because being treated well should be standard, it isn't news worthy. Being treated badly should be reported. Maybe you are right though about developers exaggerating, especially Blow since he seems to hold a grudge against MS.
