Undead are totally different from the horde. They don't fit that horde type. Blizz made some dumb reason for them to align just for WoW's sake.

But yes, I believe the horde (in roleplaying terms) is much more good aligned than the alliance. The main misconception is that the horde is pure evil just because of the Warcraft RTS series, which was literally good vs evil.
But WCIII came along and showed us that the orcs were always good, they were just corrupted. So when the horde reverts back to their old ways, they are much more likeable.

My take on the alliance is that they are a mess right now due to the events of WCIII (the scourge literally destroying human culture). Personally, they are struggling to regain control their kingdom right now, and they are facing multiple problems from undead and horde, defias, internal corruption. That is just the humans. The dwarves and gnomes face the troggs and and a threat from Dark Iron dwarves. Night elves have lost nearly everything, along with Furion and a new archdruid who seems corrupt.

So in the roleplaying sense, the Alliance is still in its shattered and fragile state, while the horde (while still facing many problems) is thriving. So it is almost like a turn of the tables now isn't it?

As for the alliance players and horde players. I think the game environment of horde hospitality has passed on to the players themselves. I do feel a sense of patriotism, if you will, on the horde. The alliance, being somewhat in shambles, doesn't appear to have that. Mainly because of the mood blizzard created when developing WoW.
