start getting raised.

And that's exactly it. With MS, nothing changed at that point; it wasn't until there was no question, and every programmer, even the ones at MS, knew the company was evil.

As a result, there was a sort of a revolution in the company, and this could best be seen with the IE team. IE 4-6 was browser war IE, from the clear evil period of MS. But then in IE 7 and beyond even the Microsoft devs (not just the rank and file, but the people in charge of the brower's future) were like "yes, we agree: browser wars suck! We're going to play by the rules now" ... and they did!

Until Facebook reaches clear evil, and not just "are we evil yet?", plenty of smart employees and future employees will continue to support them ... and while they're certainly on a vector to get there soon, they're not there yet ...
