Huh? Are you in some kind of time warp or something?
No other entity in the tech world has done more to stifle innovation and hold others back in the past 30 years than Microsoft.
Their tactics are well known by those who bother to keep abreast of such things. They have consistently violated every known concept of fair and legal business practice. They have built and protected what should be an illegal monopoly with loss leading pricing, backroom deals, blackmail, cheating, stealing IP, and hostage taking in the enterprise.
Since they can't compete with quality products, they have always responded to competitive threats with armies of lawyers and lobbyists to change laws, change verdicts, or simply overwhelm others with mountains of legal briefs in order to "wait them out".
Not fair?
Anyone competing against Microsoft without being aware of their past is an either a pollyanna or an idiot. Either way, they'll lose.
