How? I think it supports MSFT's claim, Intel wrote "low quality software" which would break Windows compatibility.

It only partially supports the claim. The definition of "low quality software" is not any software which breaks Windows compatibility. I guess then Linux counts as low quality software as well.

So what if it made Windows run slower? The consumers could choose whether or not to use NSP with Windows. Remember that word, "choose." That's the whole point of a free market.

In any case, low quality or not, we, the people, were denied the opportunity to get high quality video over the internet.

As far as your later example, you are mischaracterizing the threat Microsfot made to Intel. Microsoft didn't say "If you develop NSP, we won't support NSP." Microsoft said "If you develop NSP, we won't support MMX!"
