M$ is not concerned about "winning market share", they got ~ 95% of the desktops, their concern is maintaining hegemony. Without that crap like .NET will not fly.
M$ has always been obsessive about eliminating even the smallest competitor, now they got Linux on their hands. Expect this to get ugly.
$45 Billion buys a lot of press coverage.
