I would have to agree. 
Many companies may be evil, or practice unethical behaviour, but the 
customer of the product does not inherit the ill deeds of the producer.
If the use of M$ products constitutes a sin, then it seems to me that 
(a) driving gas powered motor vehicles should also be a sin, 
(b) the use of cigarettes should be a sin, 
(c) the consumption of alcoholic beverages should be a sin. 
Although, I am not a particularly religious person, the above
classifications are *ludicrous* (at least without context).
