You're kidding, right?
The questionable "thing" is the "buy and shutdown" strategy used by a powerful company to attack potential competition. This isn't quite as clear as buying and closing, for example, Redhat, but is suspicuous for a convicted monopolist.
I don't think they would have done it if the government had a real interest in anti-trust but I don't expect them to get any flack.
