However the MSFT claim does seem somewhat outlandish

Ian,

I believe that was a claim made by an SIer.

RE: "analogy"

Both are/were widely held beliefs that completely missed fundamental reality.

I stand behind my MSFT comments. OK, so they didn't arm the US during WWs1 and 2. But, by the end of the Carter era, we were labeled as having seen better days economically. MSFT was the single company that turned that ALL around. The prosperity that we enjoy today (well, NOT TODAY specifically but today in general) is in large part due to the innovation of MSFT. It was asinine for the US government to nuke it.
