People complain when MS does not follow standards, then when they make an effort to clean house and Do It The Right Way, people complain.
I think this has more to do with people hating the idea that an MS product could be popular simply based on its own merits. They really hate that idea. It flies against their endless efforts to create the illusion that anything but an MS product is worth using. We have seen this with Windows 7.
To me, creating anti-MS FUD is much more "evil" than anything MS does these days, even though these people pretend to be taking the moral high ground. I find that kind of ironic and sad at the same time.
