>do you ask that kind of question of other companies who get articles about them in magazines?
Yes. Not audibly every time, but this article was particularly shallow, containing nothing but praise even though their security history is hardly immaculate.
By comparison, the last article about Amazon I read here was about their leaked document on trying to crush unions. The last about Google was either them shutting down some other product I've never heard of or a complaint about how their search is now worse.

They don't? I feel like I see ten times as much shitting on Google and Facebook these days, on HN, compared to Microsoft.

look again. people come out of the woodwork to crap on Microsoft. you'll see SOME of that for FB or Google, and nowhere nearly as much. people are ANGRY at Microsoft, and they merely recognize that Google and FB and Amazon are problems without anger or any real call to action about it.
it's very weird. things Microsoft did over 20 years ago anger people a lot more than things happening today, and I don't understand why at all.
I suspect that you don't, and I also suspect that you do not see the problem with that. I apologize if I am wrong.
I suspect that people just like to complain about Microsoft. any opportunity to shart on them will be gleefully taken, and carefully camouflaged to look more insightful, and less like the disdain that it actually is.
it's popular to crap on Microsoft today because over 20 years ago they bundled a browser and complained openly about Linux.
no one shits on Google or Facebook at every opportunity, because bending the entire earth and all of its economies to get people to click on advertisements isn't viewed as the absolutely disasterous activity it truly is. no one shits on Amazon because they make people sign in and out of the bathroom, actively crush organization efforts (which is blatantly illegal) or make people piss in bottles.
all that stuff gets a pass here BECAUSE YOU FOOLS WORK AT THOSE PLACES and "my team doesn't do any of that".
complain about fluff pieces for every company or complain about none. "there ain't no third direction."
