Grasping at straws

Jazz, you're not doing much to bolster your argument by posting allegations...let me repeat that...allegations...that are nearly a decade old, especially since most of them were thrown out by the Appeals court.
There's no doubt that Microsoft has engaged in some overly aggressive business practices in the past, and may still be doing so now (albeit less noticeably), but your use of unrelated allegations from the past to support your conspiracy theory graphically illustrates the weakness of your position.
From where I sit it looks like you have made a big emotional investment in a format, and you are making emotion-based efforts to defend your choice. You've gone from defense of your emotional investment on technical merits to concocting a conspiracy theory. Perhaps you should take a step back and re-evaluate your motivations.
