Microsoft tries to partner with everyone, push things certain way and coexist.  Moment this gets turned against them, and people don't show willingness to partner, they will turn into an enemy.  This isnt surprising.  Microsoft buried Novell after it had decided that, not only would it provide the networking infrastructure for Microsoft's OS, it was also going to launch Linux.  And other things go on, like with IBM and so on.
