I don't know. It can go both ways. You seem to assume that Microsoft cleaned up their act for the better, but for all we know it could be the opposite. You don't automatically become good (or less evil) by ageing.
Of course it's not automatic but pointing to something that happened in the distant past (on the scale of the technology industry) is a terrible argument to justify an opinion about something current.
I wasn't justifying my opinion. I was merely pointing out that it's odd to assume that Microsoft has changed for the better in the intervening 20 years, despite a) being awful 20 years ago, and b) having failed to demonstrate any change for the better since.
