An annual survey conducted by Harris Interactive and The Wall Street Journal named Microsoft as the company with the best reputation among 60 of the most high-profile companies in the world, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Microsoft overtook Johnson & Johnson in the eighth annual survey. In a video interview with Dow Jones Online, the Journal‘s news editor said that Microsoft’s “emotional appeal factor rose” and that respondents were impressed by the charitable foundation started by Microsoft’s co-founder, Bill Gates, and his wife, Melinda.
