Who do you think financed the SCO lawsuits?
A whole bunch of people did. Microsoft paid sco money to liscence UNIX to make their UNIX tools
Who do you think lobbied the US congress to make America's odious software patent laws even more odious?
Link? Microsoft is constantly calling for patent reform, they are the biggest targets and get sued more then anyone over software patents.
Or who has been pouring millions into lobbyists pockets to get the European Commission to saddle Europe with software patents (so far, unsuccessfully)
Again, where are you getting this information?
And who forces computer manufacturers to buy a Windows license for every computer they sell, even if the customer doesn't want Windows pre-installed?
Nobody. If you bring up what they did to be, I'm just going to say the same thing about pre and post anti-trust suit microsoft
Who paid shills to post all sorts of messages to BBSs saying how lousy OS/2 was (and continues doing this to Linux)?
Microsoft from 30 years ago is a very different from microsoft now. That is my whole point.
(and continues doing this to Linux)
Dude, you are off your rocker
And (though Microsoft denies it) there was that whole "NSA Key" thing, plus all the DRM stuff in Vista.
a) What does either have to do with being "derrogatory towards open source
b) What does allowing for playing HD-DVDs have to do with anything?
Microsoft has done its part to screw up the US's legal system, and keeps trying to screw up the legal systems of other countries.
How?
And smash competition any way they can.
Look at the ten or so links I just posted, most of those have to do with working with competition. Again, MS now is not the same as MS 20-30 years ago.

The big move inside the company to play well with its competitors, which we have already started seeing the results of...
Play well with competitors, huh? Either Microsoft buys them, or smashes them with dirty tricks. Who do you think financed the SCO lawsuits? Who do you think lobbied the US congress to make America's odious software patent laws even more odious?
