*skeptical

Is this going to be another jealous/envious situation? Are we going to lose "skeptic" from our language because no one can be bothered to learn the difference between a skeptic and a cynic?

While I understand your point, in this case I think "cynical" is applicable.

Anything to do with mega corporations (like M$), I assume bad faith and selfish motives from the start.
