How do they regulate consumers, exactly?

If it's what I believe you're trying to say, then Microsoft is guilty of it on a whole different level.

- Shoddy DRM practises (Rootkit scandal)

- Lawsuits involving consumers not being able to modify their own property

- Muscling companies like Lik-Sang into bankruptcy

- Illegal advertising techniques (Grafitti)

- Misleading advertising techniques (PSP blog)

 

Their practises are more geared towards "regulate customers to protect the suppliers"
