Define reputable.

They're still probably the most indirectly trusted company on the earth

Why? because almost all enterprises do run some non-trivial amount of MS code

Either Windows, Azure / Azure AD or AD at all, Teams/Outlook, VS Code, or anything else.

And please, let's do not start arguing that some startup made of 30 people uses Macs only.

Anybody who was a programmer through the 1980's knows the anti-competitive practices that MS used to destroy many up-and-comers. They essentially were a dam on technological progress by coercing the world to use a non-protected single-tasking OS when we could have easily been using pre-emptive multitasking OSes on the hardware of the day.
