Do you mean the constant chorus of individuals who enjoy putting down MS for fun?
Or do you mean an internal cause?

I think both sides are equally bad here.
Bashing MS just for fun isn't very smart (for all their sins, there's a few good things coming out of Redmond - and Microsoft Research is just fantastic for the most part), but Microsoft is just lowering itself to the level of their critics here.
While a large part of the public has a biased opinion of Microsoft, Microsoft also has a biased opinion of their users - otherwise their marketing wouldn't feel so out-of-touch. I don't see any winners here.

As I understand it the problem they're trying to tackle here is the opposite. That is, that some people still give too much of "a damn" about their browser and convince normal users to move away from it.

#9IE hate is well deserved. How many hundreds of thousands or millions of productive hours have been lost due to incompabilities, bugs, etc?
That being said, Microsoft is full of talented people and they do create some fantastic products. IE is slowly getting to a more respectable point and hating on it so harshly seems juvenile.

I did notice, but didn't care enough about karaoke to look it up ;)
It's all great that Microsoft is trying to push the web forward again, they used to before IE6, but I'm not sure I like this new direction. WebGL, WebRTC and other APIs being pushed by every other major browser vendor looks much more promising and useful. Karaoke isn't making the web more practical, although it's a nice feature for entertainment.
