MS-hating opinions come from the old times of IE6 and practices like FUD, EEE. A lot has changed since then but this hate still shows up sometimes.

There's an interesting article about this by Scott Hanselman titled "Microsoft Killed My Pappy": http://www.hanselman.com/blog/MicrosoftKilledMyPappy.aspx

I found some of the reactions on hn and slashdot way more insightful than the blog post itself, which to me is half euphemism, half strawman, and 100% condescending.

There are 2 types of programmers... Programmer that 100% embrace MS using the .NET Stack, Visual Studio, and outlaying the Tens of Thousands of Dollars need to support that development model

And programmers that want to use Open Source/Open Standards... The Open Source/open Standards programmers hate MS because they MS views Open Source has a threat and the enemy (although they are starting to be less hostile over the last couple years)
