It certainly seems to be the fashion to view $BIG_COMPANY with
wariness, guilty until proven otherwise. Big company evilness makes
the headlines, after all.
One key difference I see with Microsoft and Google is that Microsoft
never explicitly adopted a do-gooder public face. I don't know how
much that will matter, but it does make some difference.
