I like this commentry on the subject:

It's moves like this that honestly make Microsoft look bad. There's no
reason for this kind of behavior, beyond a cheap, petty motive.
Incidentally, it's also this kind of activity that tends to rather tick
people off. Microsoft is the classic definition of a lousy winner. Having
won the game they'll precede to destroy any small chance you might have of
succeeding at it, for no particular reason other than a vague sort-of
bowing-down to the goals of being "competitive."

Arrogance is annoying, smirking arrogance is worse, and the unmitigated,
nasty, rather pointless arrogance Microsoft displays in attacking a
competitor that can't even compete deserves to be severely beaten with a
rock.

Really Redmond, what's the point?
