The worst I can think of is facebooks changing of their TOS, and the companies are "scary" with the kind of data they're potentially compiling but they haven't actually done anything yet (and switching to microsoft products would simply make them the scary company).

Some things that apple does like patent abuse is something that Microsoft has done as well, so its difficult to single out apple for something like that. Or facebook's lock in is similar to the Windows API lock in.

You want to give me examples of things that make all 3 of those companies worse than microsoft?
