Historically, yes, correct. IBM had a huge anti-trust case against it for this.
IBM's reaction was to change their corporate behaviour. Turn it around completely.
Actually, IBM donates more than money ... they have donated code. Vast amounts of it. Probably more so than anyone else. See the above comment about "change their corporate behaviour. Turn it around completely". This is an excellent example of exactly that turn-around.
Microsoft also had a huge anti-trust case against it. Microsoft's response was to turn the DOJ around completely, and utterly corrupt them. Now we have the US government anti-trust investigators saying things like "Microsoft is not the problem" and going after Google.
Can you say "stooges"? Can you say "bought"?
