But seriously, aren't all competitors just trying to destroy each other?

  You're right of course, but the tactics they used (especially against oss/linux and the web) pissed off a lot of people. If destroying meant: making yet a better product and marginalizing the competition (with the product or through marketing) it would be business as usual, but it seems microsoft didn't understand that their embrace-extend-extinguish method would backfire in the internet age.
