In short, IBM has outlasted it's history to a greater extent. Microsoft continues many of it's predatory practices and anti-FOSS sentiments from it's highest ranking management. If it's abandon such strategies, this is only very recently. It too may outlast it's history and prove itself through it's own actions as IBM has been doing.
The difference is age and demonstrated actions.
