Actually I've only bought 2 microsoft products. 1. a mouse/keyboard combination. the mouses rubber wheel shredded after a couple months of continuous use, and the ctrl-key on the left of the keyboard stopped working. 2. another mouse same rubber shredding.
I would rather have quality hardware sans software than shoddy hardware with quality software.
My microsoft mice have been pretty reliable (I'm not a fanboy, I own 3 logitech mice), and my logitech mice do the rubber shedding thing too on the side grips, but they still work fine.
The logitech software does leave a lot to be desired though.
I've used Logitech and MS keyboards both also, and there've been crappy keyboards on both sides, but right now I'm using an MS keyboard because they have the better ergonomic keyboard. Logitech is winning the mouse war with me, but honestly it's mostly because I didn't like the huge tilt-wheels MS switched to. I'm not really a big fan of the freespinning revolution middle mouse either though-I like the freespin but I hate the fact that the middle button is now 100x harder to click.

As long as a takeover stipulated someone actually fixing Logitech's perpetually broken software, I'm all for it.
Although, to be fair, I couldn't really care either way. Face it, you were always going to buy a keyboard or mouse from one of the two anyway.
