I wouldn't try to dismiss the issue as simple xenophobia.

I've not read all of it (seriously that's one long article... I'll probably get to it in time), but the gist so far really is "he didn't do it our way [Gates introducing the Xbox to the Japanese] so we hate him." Or "this product isn't like what we produce."

It all sounds very xenophobic to me. :/

Yeah, I understand that knowing and understanding cultural differences is incredibly important (watched my fair share of videos on that in the past weeks during my ongoing orientation period at IBM), but... Well, it's been 13 years. Guess one just hoped that times would have changed.
