Get off my lawn kid, I've been programming professionally since 1989, and using computers before that. I even worked at the time for a company that was almost wiped out by Microsoft's anti-competitive practices. I was tangentially there when Microsoft kept pissing into the ISO stnadards process pool (from the diving board, if I might add) with OOXML, and that was only 2009 (Not even 10 years ago). I know exactly how bad it has been.
I see the same data you do, but my interpretation is different: Microsoft is the same bully it always was, except the world doesn't let them bully as much. They still bully as much as they can get away with, though -- with the Win10 being a recent egregious example.
That's all I'm saying: Color me skeptical about the "new" kind, ethical Microsoft.
