This is a common misconception. I think very few people are "jealous," as you put it. Rather, I think many users simply resent Microsoft for having been so successful marketing one mediocre product after another.

There are other companies that make better software, but because they don't abuse their market position, their customers applaud them rather than booing them. This is why Microsoft launched that Phillip-Morris-like PR campaign last year, promoting their own wonderfulness. If Microsoft did away with the cartoons, the crashing, and all the other nonsense, their customers would not appear so "jealous," as you put it.
