But, like with mammograms, the vast majority of people don't have issues. But the ones that do, or hate it, never shut up about it. So, you are much more likely to HEAR a negative report than a glowing one. But that doesn't mean the product sucks. It's a sampling error.

The reason you don't hear about a glowing report is because Microsoft products don't strive for excellence; they strive for mediocrity and adequacy. Good products get a following of both extremely pro-product and extremely anti-product, because they actually push things a little. Microsoft merely sets the baseline.
It's like being an average person. Yes, you function in society. But no one cares. And sometimes you screw up, and that makes the news. But still, no one cares. And then some above-average people try to make the world a better place... and all you end up being is inertia. Not a problem. Just an obstacle. That's Microsoft.
