"Bad" means in this context "cheap", "of poor quality". I suppose part of this reputation is due to companies giving it away. Its presence in low cost computers may also be a factor. Most people don't know e.g. that the vast majority of supercomputers run Linux (although they have most certainly heard of Linux).
