I dunno about this....
A few years ago, after trying to make a Mac Mini serve as a HTPC, I realized that there was no good front end for OS X, and went to Windows MCE (and for a while Media Portal).
Microsoft took over a private HTPC forum dedicated to Media Center, and at times there were (and still are), MS employees chiming in to help users. (I duly noted to myself how different the Apple forums were.)
I've seen some rather nasty threads and posts attacking Microsoft and its products. Not once can I recall such a thread or a post having been deleted.
It was a great surprise to me, and actually changed my view of MS a bit.
So, I can point to at least one company which, in my experience, hasn't done this.
