>>Yeah, he seems really stupid alright

I bet he's not stupid. What he said above is. Becuase whether microsoft earned it X or Y way is not the point nor whether it is a vastly superior or inferior company that got to where it is due to its complete geniusness or pure stupid luck.
The point is, it has a monopoly and can and does leverage it to enter new markets (expand monopoly) and to dictate standards and ways by tying its products.

The fact is, as internal documentation and testimonies from companies that deal with MS, MS uses predatory tactics to crush competetion, and uses coersion in dealing with OEMs to their likings.. blah blah blah the web is full of evidence.

>>No, that probably because it's true.

Probably? Sounds you're unsure. Hmmm.
Let's say PROBABLY, how did you reach this probability?
