Mr Gruff, you're excused for inadvertently overlooking this statement on
that link:
"Microsoft, Sony, Panasonic, and HP have the highest brand adoption"
I'm sure it was unintentional.

Also:
"Though anti-Microsoft sentiment often runs high, the Millward Brown study
showed most consumers hold positive feelings about the brand.
Andy Farr, executive director at Millward Brown Optimor and lead researcher
on the study, said: "When you look at what customers and consumers say to
us, they do hold Microsoft in high regard."
He added: "They don't love [Microsoft] like they love Google but they
respect it."
