I think you did not get the article at all. He is not against companies entering new markets or trying a new approach in a market they are in already. He is against the way Microsoft like to do business. I think everyone who likes the term free market is basically anti-Microsoft. I do not get what do you mean by "their efforts are finally starting to pay off". I do not think that 5 billion in losses means they are getting somewhere. Usually companies change their strategies when that happens but Microsoft can always push it a little further forcing the competition out of business.
As for you saying you do not trust anonymous claims, I think you should only do that if you are not an anonymous user yourself. Unless your real name is legend11 you are a anonymous yourself. Using your claims in a backwards manner you could be just another M$ fanboy.
