Gentoo rsync server compromised
There is a large difference, both legally and from a business sense, between abusing a monopoly and repeatedly committing server cracks. The former gets you fines or broken up (in both cases, you still make money, often more money); the latter gets you shut down.
The traditional way for Microsoft to attack a competitor (and a much safer way) is to pump millions of dollars of marketing into a negative publicity campaign -- and they've had some success doing that via SCO recently. I don't see why they'd turn to something as stupid as server cracks.
This is one of the worst conspiracy theories ever.
