Back from the ashes 
Microsoft has been under scrutiny by the European Union for a while for monopolistic tendencies, and lost in court, and thus the European Union fined Microsoft for a helluva lot of money, plus made it illegal for them to include this software in future versions of their operating system.

Also, when somebody puts out a better program than Microsoft, they don't do what they should do, get their asses moving and make their own product better. No, they use FUD on their competition, they might even sue and/or threaten their competition, and if they feel REALLY scared, they'll even buy their competition. You don't get healthy competition that way.

It can be compared to a school bully who's selling something... and then a ordinary kid starts selling the same thing, just that it's better than the bully's. You can be certain that the bully will either threaten the other kid, kick his ass, or force him to tell the bully how to do it better, and then one of the other two above.
