I think this is a key point. Ballmer has been hogtied with the fallout of the anti-trust stuff. Microsoft can't use it's "installed base" advantage in the same way it once could. We'll see how great Google does once it inevitably faces the same issue.

We need to remember the software landscape has changed considerably. What might not be permissible of Microsoft in the 90s may now be fair game.
