This kind of glosses over the fact that they were found guilty of anticompetitive behavior in the EU. They got a massive fine and were and forced to do things like open up the client server protocol used between Windows Domain Controllers and Windows Clients. They came pretty close to being forced to open up the Office document formats, but the EU backed down from that one.
