Default Request for help: Legal advice when using Brand Names in articles

Hello Warriors,

I'm in a niche that teaches people how to repair their Xbox 360's. I have a few articles that promote the use of another product instead of Microsoft to repair the Xbox 360. These articles even lay out some reasons why people should resort to my product instead of Microsoft.

I would like to know if there is some kind of legal problem with doing this? Using Microsofts name in my articles and suggesting to others to resort to another product that's more reliable?

I'm not defaming Microsofts name, just informing others that many people have resorted to Microsoft and have had bad results, therefore the use of another product would be wiser.

If anyone can assist and offer their insight and knowledge that would be great.

Thanks in advance

IANAL, but I don't see a problem with it.

I would run it by a lawyer, just to be on the safe side.
