You don't need to invoke imagination. Their corporate sins are a matter of legal record. Only Enron and Standard Oil come to mind as having been more egregiously "corporate" to the exclusion of their customers' interests.

As with any large organization, the people who make up the company are usually much nicer and well-behaved on an individual basis than the combined entity is, but that doesn't change the legitimate distaste many people have for The Microsoft Corporation's behavior as a whole.
