Is Microsoft a bad partner?

People say that Microsoft is a bad partner. In fact, I'd have to confess that I myself have said that, on certain occasions.

I recently got a call from somebody at Microsoft's field office in Chicago. They had a customer who was unhappy with SourceSafe, and they asked me to go with them to visit that customer and try to convince them to switch to Vault.

Bottom line: Microsoft asked me to help them sell my product. In my book, that's pretty darn good partnering. If this continues, I'm obviously going to have to take back all those horrible things I've said about Microsoft.
