Huh? Where do you see that. I see where they attack a report from a consortium that MS is part of:

Oddly, Anderson used the latter third of the paper to launch into a criticism of the Trusted Computer Platform Alliance, a security consortium started by Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Compaq Computer and IBM in October 1999.

I don't see that this report is sponsored by MS in any way. In fact, Ross Anderson's home page, the author of the report and staff at Cambridge University makes no mention of who sponsored it. It is likely just academic reasearch on his part. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/ Again, he makes it clear that he is pretty much blasting both sides on whether or not open/closed source software is more/less secure.
In fact, if there is any bias to be had, it is for the Open Source argument. go read his paper and look at the acknowledgements and see who he has accepted an invitation to spead on and about what.
