You take a very dishonest stance on the charges against microsoft. They actively broke other people's software (Dr DOS) and made APIs that that only they could use which provided enormous, abusable and well abused competitive advantage. They actively interfered with standardization processes.

They did a ton of dishonest, unethical and illegal things. They even had internal memos about doing these things like the famous "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" memo.

In order to describe these charges as you have one must have a severe lack of information or an equally severe bias.

EDIT - Downvote away, without a thoughtful response it is the equivalent of a throwing a tantrum.
