So... provided that the reader has already been informed that they are reading about Microsoft, I prefer the first one (the company from Redmond). It's nearly pejorative or at least tongue-in-cheek, and the phrasing reminds me of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

The second version (the Redmond company) isn't confusing per se, but it won't scan with the impact of the first version.
