Anyway, M$ is used grudgingly, regardless of trust.
Even if Bose don't sound very good ($AU1000 for 3 inch paper cones?), at least the products can be relied upon to perform as expected, and I'm not aware of the company being involved in any really underhanded business dealings. From my point of view, I have no reason not to trust Bose, or their products, it's just that they don't do/make anything that I want. Conversely, a company like KRK make some speakers I could really use, but I don't trust them at all, because they've been known to shaft their Australian customers.
