To date they haven't... but Microsoft has shown an inability to "play fair" Microsoft has invested over $10B in service providers and with that can "kindly suggest" they use Microsoft applications on the infrastructure... They can also tighly couple their applications into their own services companies - thus not allowing competitive applications a way to penetrate. Microsoft still has $20B in cash and continue to work to further instantiate their applications (whether on NT - as they are today - or on Unix or Linux since they'll port) into services.. their own.. and their compeititors.
