The best Onion stories are the ones that have a hint of truth to them. Unfortunately, some [theonion.com] end up having a bit too much truth in them and later come to pass.

Unlikely. Microsoft sports a very aggressive corporate culture where if you don't use Microsoft for everything, you're "not a team player."
As an employee, I can tell you that isn't even remotely true. The one and only case where I've heard any pressure happening about use of Microsoft products in field sales and support.
