It does matter.  It's not the only factor, nor is it necessarily the most
important one, but it definitely does matter.

People seem to be genuinely asking themselves if what's good for Redmond is
still good for them. . . . [and] Microsoft doesn't seem to perceive the
danger. At a certain level of concern, consumers begin making decisions not
based on logic or product quality, and we may be nearing that point,
despite the fact that Windows and Office are now de facto standards on most
PCs.
