Microsoft didn't embellish the truth - they used stand over tactics to force 
other businesses to help keep buyers from having free choice about what they 
buy - it's the "Microsoft Tax".  And it's illegal in the US (anti-monopoly 
laws).

That has nothing to do with what Microsoft did.  It was conspiracy to break 
the law.

What does this have to do with me?   What does this have to do with 
Microsoft's corporate philosophy and behavior?
