The Microsoft doubters are at it again. Skeptics are questioning Microsoft's ability to deliver on the "Windows Live" strategy outlined recently by Bill Gates and Microsoft CTO Ray Ozzie. If history is a lesson, however, it's a mistake to underestimate Microsoft, a company that has repeatedly shown an ability to catch up to competitors when it falls behind, as it often does.

*sigh*. Why do people keep making up their own definition of free market?
Because that's the nature of ideologies as apposed to the real world. The term "free market" has different definitions depending on who you ask really, because the "free market" can be applied to different political ideals. A more interesting read than your one line loose definition is the wikipedia page on the subject.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market
"A free market implies the presence of competition, although monopolies that are not maintained through coercion can be present."
