Hmm... pointing out the heavy amount of MS stories on front page... pointing out MS dominate the OS space.... obviously this must be down voted at all costs.
Yesterday, I downvoted your post because its tone was inconsistent with HN, its logical structure was poor, and its intent appeared to be inflamitory rather than informative or entertaining.
If these were honest mistakes, then you should consider any downvotes as feedback indicating a need to improve your
written communications to better and more clearly express your thoughts to an HN audience.
And MS items get flagged off often because microsoft cannot buy peoples hearts with a billion dollars in advertising after decades of an ugly monopoly.

It's being downvoted because the the tone of your post does not fit the kind of conversation that Hn users want to have here

Works both ways.
Seems MS do get adequate coverage based on the number if stories I see on first few pages and an hour on the homepage isn't woe.
They are attempting to change their tact, from ruthless business tactics to inspiring the people. Maybe that hasn't translated yet to the HN mind
Flagging on HN is different from downvoting, this is not Reddit.
